Fayette County Farm Bureau is proud to announce the Farm Bureau Scholarship recipient is Cassie Baird.

Cassie is the daughter of David and Teresa Baird from Washington Court House. A 2019 graduate of Miami Trace High School, Cassie plans to study at Southern State University.

During her high school years she was on the varsity soccer team, a member of the Key Club, on Junior Fair board, The Ohio Angus Association, The American Angus Association, and The Fayette County Cattle Feeders. She was also invited and accepted to be the Rotary Club speaker, the Miami Trace FFA treasurer, and a CCP Student. Some of her community service includes the annual hospital gala, volunteering at a youth soccer camp, Adopt-A-Highway, and Operation Christmas Child.

Cassie also worked as a swim instructor/ child watch employee and a cashier at Patchwork Gardens.

Some awards that she received in high school were Greenhand, Chapter and State FFA Degrees as well as four years of the leadership award. She also received the Scholar Athlete award all four years.

All of these activities and accomplishments have taught Cassie valuable lessons, helped her to become a better leader and have shown her the amount of dedication one must have to succeed.

Congratulations to Cassie Baird! We are proud to support your educational endeavors. We wish you the best in the future!

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.
