The Ohio Sheep Improvement Association and Ohio Farm Bureau are co-hosting a sheep and agriculture tour to Argentina Oct. 19 – Nov. 2, 2019.
“This trip is for any farmer who is interested in learning about agricultural practices in a different country while also learning the traditions and culture of the region,” said Roger High, Ohio Farm Bureau director of livestock policy and executive director of the Ohio Sheep Improvement Association.
Transportation, lodging, tour admission and several meals are included as part of the two-week excursion. Agriculture-related tours include a large sheep flock, livestock market, grain farm, vineyard and winery as well as a fruit farm and olive plantation.
“It’s good for us as farmers to see what other countries are doing with agriculture practices and what rules and regulations they have to abide by,” High said.
Cultural experiences include a visit to the Mendoza Falls, a visit to the Perito Moreno Glacier and a tango show. A valid U.S. passport is required for the trip.
The flight is direct from Columbus to Buenos Aires. The total cost of the trip is approximately $6,500/person, High said, depending on the number of attendees.
For more information, contact High at [email protected] or 614-246-8299.
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.
