To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the American Farm Bureau Foundation for Agriculture is offering 50 – $50 teacher resource grants.

The purpose of grants is to provide funds to educators to enable them to purchase accurate agricultural literacy materials from the AFBF store for use in their classrooms.

Eligibility: Educators employed by a school and working in grades K-12 may apply for funding.

Application Guidelines:

Grantees will be issued a $50 credit to the AFBFA store. This credit may only be used on AFBFA resource items. A list will be provided of unacceptable purchases. Purchases must be made within 30 days of receiving the grant. If the grant is not used within this period, AFBFA reserves the right to revoke the grant, and make the grant available to someone else.

Following purchase, grantees are required to send a copy of their order receipt to [email protected] so the foundation may confirm that the funds have been properly spent.

Since much of the foundation’s funding comes from individual donors, grantees will be asked to write a thank you note to a donor explaining how they plan to use the purchased materials. Notes should be submitted no later than one month after purchase has been made.

Grantees will be asked, but not required, to take a picture of themselves or their students using the materials and send it to the foundation. NOTE: If students are in photos, a photo release form must be signed by a guardian of each student.

To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.

Giving farmers a voice
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.

Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

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.

Select Partner Program
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.

Advocacy
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.
