There is no doubt that every farmer, and even those in the larger agriculture community, is feeling the stress of year-over-year falling crop prices, trade standoffs and a soggy spring. Equally frustrating may be the feeling of being not sure where to turn for answers. Recognizing the need for a one-stop shop that can offer recommendations and solutions for agriculture’s most stressful issues, Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences has put together a website with resources for Ohio farmers.

On the website, Ohio State has convened a task force of experts to address concerns and offer the best science-based recommendations for and solutions to the issues farmers are facing such as weather impacts, tariffs, and low commodity prices.

These resources are not only for farmers, but for the families and friends who support them as well as anyone associated with the ag community or farming industry.

There also is a special section to submit a question.

My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.

We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.

It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.

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
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.
