Jeff Levering

Our February featured farmer is Jeff Levering, owner and operator of Levering Farms in Morrow/Knox County. He runs a grain farm with 1,900 acres of corn, soybeans, wheat and hay and has a 600 head feed lot operation. Jeff also runs a trucking company and a feed store.

Levering cornJeff enjoys working outside — operating machinery and improving the land for the next generation. He said he differs from other farms because his is 100% family operated. Although there isn’t much downtime when running a farm business, he likes to camp, boat, swim, and razor ride.

Every farm faces some obstacles along the way. Jeff explained that the weather, government regulations, weeds, and insects were a few of his.

“Being a Farm Bureau member has benefited me because it keeps me up-to-date on political news. I also have an organization working for me in Washington, D.C. I keep informed on social happenings of other Farm Bureau members.”

Keep on running a successful business, Jeff. We appreciate you being an Ohio Farm Bureau member!

Farm Bureau connections
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.

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.

Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

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.
