The power of eminent domain has been in the news recently because of a highly visible political candidate. Eminent domain is revisited in these two, four-minute Legal with Leah podcasts, featuring Ohio Farm Bureau Director of Ag Law Leah Curtis.

Part one

Who can take your property and under what circumstances? Ohio Farm Bureau’s Leah Curtis explains the ins and outs of the power of eminent domain. (And yes, she covers how Donald Trump tried to take a little old lady’s house.)

 

Part two
In the second part of the eminent domain discussion, more about who can take your land (including pipeline companies) and what to do if they try.

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.

Giving farmers a voice
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Finding farm labor
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.

CAUV: Past, present and future
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.

So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
