Clif Little, OSU Extension; Jeremy Scherf, ODNR forester and Jay McElroy, USDA district conservationist gave presentations to a group of 80 landowners on how to identify, control, remove and manage invasive species that inhibit or deter the growth of desired species in forests and fields. Funding options were also presented that can help to offset the costs of removal and management practices used with cost sharing possibilities.

This was the second session in the series of Money Does Grow on Trees being sponsored by the Guernsey County Farm Bureau, Guernsey SWCD, OSU Extension and ODNR Division of Forestry.

The third session is planned for Thursday, Aug. 22 at Deerassic Park on the topic: Details of Woodland Management. Forester Jeremy Scherf will cover the finer details of forest management with selection of crop trees, harvesting of timber and seed mixes for trails. Make reservations for this session by Aug. 14 by contacting the Guernsey SWCD at 740-489-5276. Cost is $5 that includes dinner once again by Cid’s Smokehouse Grill.

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.

Farm Bureau connections
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
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Bringing the farm back to life
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.
