Jenny Cox of Dresden has been elected Southeast Regional Trustee for the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation. She will help govern the state’s largest and most inclusive farm and food organization and represent Farm Bureau members from 24 counties.
Cox was elected during Ohio Farm Bureau Federation’s 99th annual meeting in Columbus Dec. 7.
Cox and her husband, Jared, own Cox Seed Sales, sell crop insurance and raise 1.5 acres of hops which they sell to local breweries in Muskingum County. They also are part of Cox Brothers Farm, where they raise corn, soybeans and wheat in Muskingum and Coshocton counties.
A 20-year member of Muskingum County Farm Bureau, she currently serves as its president and has held other offices in the organization. She is a member of the 2017 Ohio Farm Bureau Policy Development Committee and is a graduate of Ohio Farm Bureau’s AgriPOWER leadership development institute.
Cox received her bachelor’s degree in communication and journalism from the Ohio State University and her master’s in education from Mt. Vernon Nazarene University. She is a member of Ohio Corn and Wheat Growers and Ohio Soybean Association, the Tri Valley School Board, the Mid-East Career and Technology Centers board and previously was an English/language arts teacher at Tri Valley High School.
The Coxes are the parents of two sons.
The mission of Ohio Farm Bureau is working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities. The organization helps its members engage in policy and communications activities to improve their communities and provides a wide range of member benefits.

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.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
We really appreciate what Farm Bureau has done to get people interested in this line of work and workforce development and getting people interested in this industry.
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.
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.
