Ohio Farm Bureau is offering 25 free well water testing kits to each county Farm Bureau.
It is recommended that wells be tested if they are more than 20 years old, were dug rather than drilled, are shallow, soil is sandy, a chemical spill happened nearby or are near cropland, feedlots, landfills or industrial sites.
The testing kits will be sent to Heidelberg University’s National Center for Water Quality Research for nitrate analysis. Ohio Farm Bureau is paying the cost of the nitrate analysis, which is $25 per sample. Testing for pesticides and metals is available at an additional cost.
Free well water testing kits will be available for pickup April 16, 2018 at the Ottawa County Soil and Water Department, 240 W Lake Street, Oak Harbor, OH. Samples will need to be returned to the same location on or before April 30, 2018. Lab results typically take two to three weeks and will be mailed to the homeowners.
Clean water is one of Farm Bureau’s top priorities. Take advantage of this free kit and secure your free well water testing kit by contacting the Farm Bureau office at 419-849-2128.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
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.
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.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
