Adison Niese

Adison Niese is the Crawford, Marion, Morrow, and Richland County Farm Bureau summer intern. She attends the John Glenn College at The Ohio State University majoring in Public Management, Leadership, and Policy with a specialization in Community Organization and Civic Engagement. She will graduate in the spring of 2020.

Niese grew up on a grain operation in Richland County and is the daughter of Roger and Terri Niese. She showed a variety of species through 4-H at the county fair. She attended Shelby High School. As a member of the Shelby FFA, she participated in several career development events (CDEs) and began showing beef heifers on a state and national level.

In 2017, Niese was elected to the board of directors of the American Junior Maine-Anjou Association (AJMAA), a national junior cattle breed organization, where she interacts with youth interested in raising cattle throughout the country. She is the current president and will retire from the board this June. Other extracurricular activities include being the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences student council representative for the Meat Science Club, a member of the Ohio State Mountaineers Club, and a past member of the OSU meat judging team.

Niese looks forward to working with local farmers and agriculturalists at the Farm Bureau this summer. She will be assisting with communications, membership and helping organize upcoming events. She is excited to learn about local and state agricultural policy through the lens of a grassroots organization.

 

Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.

I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.

Strong communities
I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.

Leadership development
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.

With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.

Growing our Generation
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.

If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.

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.
