There is no other program available that gives a person this much exposure to all the different facets of agriculture to be able to speak individuals in all three levels of government, and to hear from many other agriculture association leaders and other farmers from around not only Ohio, but other states as well.
While learning from other is critical, it is also just as important to learn from ourselves. AgriPOWER provides tools that allow us to be able to determine some of our strengths and build on our weaknesses. Agriculture is an aging industry that needs to find and develop the next generation of leaders to be able to forge our own future. We need to be in charge of our future, instead of people that are three or more generations away from the farm making the laws and decisions.
AgriPOWER is a program that helps to develop these next leaders. It provides a foundation of skills and networking for these next leaders to have a positive impact. If agriculture does not stand up and tell its story to the public, then who is the public learning agriculture from?
AgriPOWER has many tools to develop each of its class members to become their own advocate with a united message. There are many different areas of agriculture, but agriculture only succeeds if all these areas have a united voice.
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.
