Are you a Farm Bureau member? You may have been asked that question recently as the Belmont County Farm Bureau membership campaign kicked off with its recent membership dinner which had over 175 people in attendance.

“Our goal each year is to grow our membership” said Mengon. “Everyone is invited to join – you don’t have to be a farmer. In fact many of our members are gardeners, animal lovers, work in the food industry or just enjoy eating.”

“We have a member benefit package with something for everyone” she said. Some of the benefits of a Farm Bureau membership include: Support of legislative efforts on important issues like energy, CAUV, water quality and more; a subscription to Our Ohio magazine offering consumer news, travel info, food tips and recipes.  Savings are available on a Ford vehicle purchase, hotel stay, car rental, John Deere products, restaurants and much more. There is a mobile Farm Bureau app available to members only which gives members savings at many local and state businesses.

When you join Farm Bureau or renew a current membership by March 31, you have a chance to win a flat screen TV, a Yeti cooler, Stihl chainsaw, Heritage gift card or cash card.

Ohio Farm Bureau is a grassroots membership organization that works to support our state’s food and farm community. For more information or to join Farm Bureau contact Membership Coordinator, Carman Mengon at 740-695-2492. You may also call the Belmont County Farm Bureau office at 740-425-3681 or 866-855-7190 or join online.

 

Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan
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.

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

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
