Once again this year, Miami County farmers wanted to give back to their community through the Bushels for Hunger program. Bushels for Hunger was started in 2009 when the economy was struggling and farmers in Miami County were looking for a way to help their community.
During harvest season, farmers can choose to donate their bushels of wheat, corn, and soybean crops at the Troy Elevator. After harvest is over for the season, the program donates the price per bushel back to their designated organizations.
On Friday, May 3 Miami County Farm Bureau presented checks to Health Partners Free Clinic of Troy, St. Patrick’s Soup Kitchen of Troy, New Path Outreach of Tipp City, and Saint James Food Pantry in Piqua. This year Farm Bureau was able to present over $4300 to these organizations. The food pantries are very appreciative of the help that they receive from the farmers as St. Pat’s Soup Kitchen said they served over 25,000 meals in 2018.
To find out how you can be involved in the Bushels for Hunger program, call the office at 937-335-1471 or e-mail [email protected] .
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.
