More than 300 volunteer members from across the state had the opportunity to share their personal issues and stories with legislators.
This year’s Ag Day at the Capital was a great success! Christopher Rogers, Brett Rogers, Aubrey Bolender, Heather Utter, M. Shannon Utter and Jaden Utter took time from their careers and farms to head to Columbus Feb. 15. Ag Day at the Capital is a signature event each year that brings Ohio Farm Bureau members into the active advocacy process. More than 300 volunteer members from across the state had the opportunity to share their personal issues and stories with legislators.
A few agricultural priorities highlighted included energy, landowner rights, eminent domain, water quality and broadband. Local volunteers met with Sen. Shane Wilkin, State Rep. Adam Bird and State Rep. Bob Peterson. We appreciate them taking time from their busy schedules to meet with our volunteers from Adams, Brown, Clermont and Highland counties!
The day concluded with a fireside chat that included Gov. Mike DeWine, the newly appointed director of Ohio Department of Agriculture, Brian Baldridge and Ohio Farm Bureau Executive Vice President, Adam Sharp.
Farm Bureau’s role in supporting the agricultural community is crucial, especially during times of significant change and uncertainty.
