If you work off the farm and are a leader in Farm Bureau and the community, then the Excellence in Agriculture contest is for you. This award is designed to recognize successful young agricultural professionals (singles or couples) who are actively contributing and growing through their involvement with Farm Bureau and who are employed or heavily involved in the ag industry. Applicants may own and operate a farm but the majority of their income comes from off the farm. The top three applicants will have a 25-minute presentation before a panel of judges Aug. 31. The statewide winner will be recognized at the Ohio Farm Bureau annual meeting in December and also will go on to compete in the national contest.
Applicants for both contests must be Farm Bureau members between the ages of 18 and 35 in good standing with their county Farm Bureau. The individual or spouse should have reached their 18th birthday at the time they qualify for the national competition and should not have reached their 36th birthday by Jan. 31, 2019. Click here to complete application. Applications are due no later than July 27, 2017, and can be emailed to [email protected].
