Miami County Farmers are no strangers to showing kindness to their community.  On May 2, Miami County Farm Bureau was able to present donation checks to Greene Street United Methodist Church, the Bradford Resource Center, Health Partners Free Clinic, and the Covington Outreach Association as a part of the Bushels for Hunger program.

Farm Bureau president Bill Wilkins said the Bushels for Hunger program has been going on in Miami County for nine years thanks to the generosity of local farmers. Farmers give of their land, their time, and their crops to support the program. This year Farm Bureau was able to present over $4000 to these organizations.

Bushels for Hunger 2018During harvest season, farmers are able to donate bushels at the Troy Elevator and also at Rudy Inc. elevators in Covington and West Milton. After harvest is over, the program donates the price per bushel to the designated organizations.

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.
