Legislative representation
Tell us about one big project one of your counties has planned or has recently conducted.
Guernsey County has brought together the community to address the opioid problem. At the request of a local judge Guernsey County sponsored the initial meeting that was standing room only. There is now a community group called CHOICES that is working on many aspects of the problem to help the county and the communities. We are providing drug disposal bags to take medicines out of the community that are no longer needed and to keep them from falling into the wrong hands.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
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.
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.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
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.
