Sauder Village’s newest initiative is a 1920s Main Street Community. This walk-through time experience, which is already under construction, replicates key businesses along a “main street” community typical of the 1920s. As you may know, Ohio Farm Bureau, founded in 1919, was hitting its stride in the 1920s, culminating in the foundation of the Farm Bureau Mutual Automobile Insurance Company in 1926. We think a Farm Bureau office on Main Street could offer visitors a perspective of our organization’s history and modern relevance.
Sauder Village leadership has presented us with a unique opportunity to fund the creation of the Farm Bureau office on Main Street and we are inviting county Farm Bureaus in the region to help us make this dream a reality. Fulton County Farm Bureau is leading a campaign to raise $60,000 over three years to fund this project.
We are asking Farm Bureau members to contribute $50 or more to this effort. The Ohio Farm Bureau will match the county Farm Bureau contributions up to $15,000. You can choose to donate in one lump sum, or spread the total payment over three years.
Sauder Village is a statewide destination and we feel Farm Bureau should have a presence there. By combining our dollars from county Farm Bureaus, individual members and Ohio Farm Bureau, we can make this vision a reality.
I’m sure you have questions and we would welcome a follow up discussion. You can view this video to see and hear more about this project. In the meantime, please contact Organization Director Roy Norman at [email protected] or 419-356-0008 for questions.

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.
