Paulding County Farm Bureau is awarding up to $1,000 total in scholarships to attend the Young Ag Professionals Leadership Experience hosted by Ohio Farm Bureau. Once you attend the YAP Leadership Experience, the Paulding County Farm Bureau will reimburse the scholarship amount which will be determined after the conference.

This conference will be held Feb. 1-2, 2019 at the Hyatt Regency in Columbus, Ohio. This year the YAP Leadership Experience will have keynote speakers Vance Crowe and Chad Colby along with a trade show and commodity networking night. This is an opportunity for leadership experience, building personal and professional skills, networking with agricultural leaders, and making a difference in our communities, Farm Bureau, and agriculture. Come for personal and professional development, meeting other young professionals from around Ohio, fun, food, and fellowship! This is open to all Ohio Farm Bureau members ages 18-25.

If you have any questions about the conference or the scholarship, feel free to contact the office at (419) 523-5874.

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.

Giving farmers a voice
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Finding farm labor
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.

CAUV: Past, present and future
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
