Farm Bureau District 21 YAP Committee members enjoyed a tour at Sixth Sense Brewing & Taproom on Saturday, April 22. It was interesting to see how everything works. We can’t wait to see the new addition coming soon! Thank you Jennifer Davis Ratcliff and Jamie Ratcliff for your hospitality. Dirk Dempsey and Josh Winters, OSU Extension educators in Pike and Jackson, gave a presentation on hops and wine to go along with the tour. We always enjoy partnering with our friends at OSU! If you are a Farm Bureau member age 35 or younger, we would love for you to join us in future Young Ag Professionals events. Contact the county office: 740-286-4598.
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
We really appreciate what Farm Bureau has done to get people interested in this line of work and workforce development and getting people interested in this industry.
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
