Aryn Copeland from Crawford County will represent Ohio at the 2019 American Farm Bureau Young Farmers & Ranchers Collegiate Discussion Meet. The competition takes place March 15-18 as part of the Fusion Conference in Milwaukee.
The Collegiate Discussion Meet follows the same model as the Young Farmer & Rancher Discussion Meet. The competitive event simulates a committee meeting where discussion and active participation are expected from each participant. The competition is evaluated on an exchange of ideas and information on a pre-determined topic. Participants build basic discussion skills, develop a keen understanding of important agricultural issues and explore how groups can pool knowledge to reach consensus and solve problems.
The top four finalists will receive scholarship money from CHS Foundation.
Copeland is a junior at Wilmington College where she studies agricultural communication and is involved on campus, serving as the vice president of the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau chapter, president of the Eta Rho chapter of Kappa Delta Sorority and the Greek Council Executive Board, and is involved in the Honors Program and Agricultural Advocacy trips.
The past two summers she represented the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation as a member of the Ohio State Fair Junior Fair Board, serving as president this past summer.
She is the daughter of Carl and Lauren Copeland of Bucyrus.
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.
