Ashley has been in Ag Lending for the past 4 years and is currently a Regional Credit Officer for UPI Credit Services. She and her husband, Kyle, live outside Pemberville with their daughter, Adalida.  They enjoy anything to do with livestock, including judging a few shows each year, and spending time together as a family.  In addition, Ashley is a member of the Wood County 4-H Committee, an advisor for the Duke’s Mixture 4-H club, a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church and an Independent Consultant for Rodan and Fields. Ashley is a graduate of the Ohio Farm Bureau AgriPOWER leadership program and has been a Wood County Farm Bureau Board member since the fall of 2015. She is also active in the Young Ag Professionals group.

Thank-you Ashley for all that you do for the Wood County Farm Bureau!

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.
