In December 2018, Ashland County Farm Bureau was recognized for its role in supporting the local SAFE FARMS facility in Apple Creek at the Wayne County Regional Training Facility. This facility trains first responders from across Ohio and it has been a priority of Ashland, Holmes, Medina and Wayne County Farm Bureaus for there to be a grain safety training prop.
Phase 1 of the project is completed (see picture) and includes a 26-foot bin with live floor, a 60-foot grain leg with augers, and a 15-foot bin (which will ultimately have an open roof for grain entrapment rescue trainings).
Funds are being raised to complete phase 2 which will go toward a balcony that will be built around the 15-foot bin so class members can observe the rescue. In addition, phase 2 includes a steel-framed building that will be constructed over the 15-foot bin so that training can take place in all weather conditions.
The estimated cost for both phases of this project is $196,000 and we are over 77% of the way to our goal!
Our goal is to complete phase 2 by September! If you know of businesses, organizations, or individuals willing to donate to this tax-deductible great cause, please contact the office. Thank you to the wonderful organizations and individuals that have committed funds to this project already! All donations are much appreciated and below is a list of those donating $1,000 or more to the project. Donors of $1,000 or more will be featured on a permanent sign at the training facility.

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.
