Every Tuesday an Ohio Farm Bureau member takes over the Ohio Farm Bureau Instagram for the day to share a day in their life. Check in throughout the day or follow us on Instagram, @OhioFarmBureau, to meet new Ohio farmers and ag professionals every #TakeOverTuesday.

Good Morning! We are Dave, Kari, Braylie, Bronc & Colt Burkey. We own and operate KD Guest Ranch and I (Kari) work as an Organization Director for @ohiofarmbureau in Morgan, Muskingum, Perry, & Muskingum Counties. . .
#TakeOverTuesday this week is with Kari Burkey of KD Guest Ranch and Ohio Farm Bureau in Muskingum County. Meet Ohio farmers and Farm Bureau members each week for #TakeOverTuesdayOFBF . .

As the sun is rising, Braylie & Bronc encourage the guests to help with their chores such as feeding the chickens, goat, cats and dogs as well as walking Braylie’s 4-H goat. . .

The guests at KD Ranch groom and saddle their horses and then Dave takes them out for a trail ride to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the rolling hills of south-eastern Ohio. The things that I love most about my job as an Organization Director are the diversity, in that each day offers new challenges, sharing my passion for agriculture, and working with dedicated volunteers! . .

Team Penning is one of the guest’s favorite activities at the Ranch. One of my favorite activities is teaching youth about agriculture and where their food, fiber and fuel come from. . .

Afternoons at KD Ranch are passed splashing in the pool or practicing roping. At our county Farm Bureau events, we like to talk to people about what all Farm Bureau does as an organization and why they should become a member of Farm Bureau. . .

Reflecting on a fun-filled day of adventure while relaxing around a bonfire is the perfect ending to a day at KD Ranch! Concluding a year of successful activities at our Farm Bureau Annual Meeting, by recognizing the dedication and hard-work of great volunteers is extremely rewarding! . .

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.
