The Morgan County Farm Bureau invites the public to Think F.A.S.T. – Farm & Ag Safety Training on Saturday, Aug. 11.

Ohio Farm Bureau’s mission is “Working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities” and safety in all sectors of agriculture is a vital aspect in successful advancement. Attendees of Think F.A.S.T. can attend multiple 30-minute sessions of their choice. The session topics include safe use of lawn mowers, tractors and power take-off equipment, ATV’s and chainsaws, and safe practices in working with and hauling livestock and grain bins. Other sessions include sun safety, liability in the workplace, drug and alcohol awareness and a demonstration by Morgan County’s drug dog Atlas and Officer Ferguson.
Along with the sessions, all will be invited to the dedication of grain bin rescue equipment to be housed in local fire stations and afterwards attendees will enjoy lunch provided by the Morgan County Fairgrounds. During lunch, kids will be invited to participate in a Pedal Tractor Pull. Finally, the event ends with a Grand Finale Mock Farm Accident in the grandstands; during the mock accident, first responders, including MedFlight, will illustrate how they would handle an accident with a round baler.

My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.
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.
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.
