More than 80 Farm Bureau volunteers were honored for their efforts on behalf of the 2001 Ohio Farm Bureau membership campaign during this year’s Annual Meeting.

Members of the Ambassador Club each signed 10 new Farm Bureau members in last year’s campaign on the way to an all-time high membership total of more than 214,000.

"These volunteers make our campaign a success year after year," according to Mike Fearon, director of membership activities for OFBF. "Farm Bureau is indeed fortunate to have such dedicated members who believe so strongly in the organization."
