The State YAP Committee and young agricultural professionals in Ohio have a heart for the community. Over the past three years, $21,673 has been raised to support Ohio foodbanks. For this year’s fundraiser, the State YAP Committee is creating a YAP Farm Bureau Calendar, and photos from farms are needed.

The calendars will be created using the top agricultural photos as selected by the State Young Ag Professionals Committee from Ohio Farm Bureau member submissions. These calendars will be sold to raise money for food banks around Ohio.

The committee is looking for all types of agricultural scenes: planting, harvest, livestock, farm landscapes, chores, barns and produce photos from every season. Entrants may submit more than one photo.

Ohio Farm Bureau members can submit high resolution pictures (2048 x 2048) to [email protected] or upload pictures to the YAP Facebook page. Please include photographer’s name and county.

Submissions will be accepted until Aug. 18.

Upon selection, contest winners will be asked to sign a photo release, effectively transferring photo rights to the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, Inc. Failure to sign and comply with the release will render the photo ineligible for use in the Young Agricultural Professionals calendar fundraiser.

 

Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.

I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.

Strong communities
I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.

Leadership development
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.

With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.

Growing our Generation
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.

If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.

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.
