AgriPOWER is more than an agriculture leadership program sponsored by the Ohio Farm Bureau. AgriPOWER is discussions that challenge your own personal norm, it is bonding with others of all ages and diverse agricultural backgrounds, and it is learning about different types of agriculture that you may not normally be engaged in.
During the program we have examined our own personal leadership styles and learned how to work better with others. AgriPOWER has showed us that we have the ability to reach out and educate ourselves and others about different aspects of agriculture through the networking we have done within our class members as well as with the presenters that we have met throughout the sessions.
AgriPOWER has taught us about lobbying for our agricultural causes at the national and state level and the challenges of writing policies that represent the best interest of the agricultural community. We also interacted with local government and talked about the importance of the use of our own voice in agriculture issues from the local township trustees to our representatives in Washington, D.C. AgriPOWER has taught us to think beyond the corn and beans of Ohio to the cotton and peanuts of Georgia as well as the exports that cross the oceans.
We were challenged to reach out to help those that are not as fortunate as ourselves and to embrace the diversity of ideas that we all have around agricultural issues. AgriPOWER is a program that builds unity, strength and cohesiveness in agriculture by bonding a group of people who will be friends long after the eight months of the program.
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.
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.
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.
