Coshocton County

The Coshocton County Farm Bureau Policy Development Committee wants to hear from you. Committee members are interested in Farm Bureau members’ ideas as to the major issues and needs of Coshocton County.

COVID-19 and social distancing has certainly been a large part of Ohioans’ lives over the past several weeks and will likely continue for some time into the future.  Traditionally, beginning in May and continuing over the next couple of months, the Coshocton County Farm Bureau Policy Development Committee hosts information-gathering meetings to identify issues of importance for members and the community. With an unknown end to social distancing in sight, the Policy Development Committee has developed a short survey to help surface local, state and national ideas for policy development consideration.

This survey is designed to assist the Policy Development Committee in identifying issues facing Farm Bureau members. Input will allow the committee to proceed in the development of policies and programs that will help address the issues that are identified. Please answer each question with a clear, descriptive response.

New and beginning farmers
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.

Growing Tomorrow Grant
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.

Youth pathways in Farm Bureau
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.

Giving farmers a voice
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.

Select Partner Program
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.

Advocacy
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.
