Happy National Ag Week 2018 from the Putnam County Farm Bureau! National Ag Week is very important to us here at the Putnam County Farm Bureau and to celebrate this week and all of the people that contribute to the agriculture community, we are going to share an Ohio agriculture-related fact for every day. Few times in your life will you need a lawyer, policeman and a doctor, but everyday, three times a day you will need a farmer. The agriculture industry in some way, shape, or form is a part of every single person’s life. From the clothes on our backs to the food on our plates to the gas in some of our vehicles, agriculture is an industry that constantly gives and rarely asks for anything in return. This National Ag Week the Putnam County Farm Bureau wants to thank those of you who work in acres not hours because an industry that feeds us is an industry worth fighting for.

2018 National Ag Week Monday Fun Fact:

Did you know?

In Putnam County there are a total of 2,513 people working in the agriculture industry which represents 13 percent of the county total!

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.

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

Bringing the farm back to life
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.

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.
