Ohio Farm Bureau State Board Trustee Al DiVencenzo passed away unexpectedly July 24. Since 2014, he had represented Cuyahoga, Erie, Huron and Lorain counties on the Ohio Farm Bureau board of trustees. A Lorain County Farm Bureau member, he served at the county level as president, vice president, secretary, board member and member of numerous committees.
DiVencenzo operated a choose-and-cut Christmas tree farm with his wife, Beth, which includes a pre-cut lot that benefits a local school and library fund. He was vice president of the Ohio Christmas Tree Association and was setting up its popular Ohio State Fair exhibit just days before his passing. He also served as an adjunct professor at the Firelands campus of Bowling Green State University.
DiVencenzo spent 30 years in public education and was a 45-year 4-H adviser. The DiVencenzos have three grown children.
“Working with Al DiVencenzo over the years in his role as an OFBF state board member always reminded me why Farm Bureau is so special. Al was the embodiment of the dedicated, involved, passionate and kind individual who makes a difference for their communities and agriculture. Many others have already said it, but I will echo it: Al will be missed.” ~ Adam Sharp, OFBF Executive Vice President
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.
