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.

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 plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Giving farmers a voice
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.

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.

Select Partner Program
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.

Advocacy
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.
