One key result from the recent Farm, Food and Agribusiness COVID-19 Impact Survey indicated that finding personal protection equipment to protect or guard against the COVID-19 virus has been difficult, whether for an individual’s use or that of ag business operations.
Ohio Farm Bureau wants to provide the following resources that may be useful.
- The Ohio Manufacturers Association and its partners have launched a website to help find PPE sellers. This website is like a “trading post,” facilitating contact between PPE makers and sellers and prospective buyers
- Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has created a PPE Exchange dashboard that offers a place for buyers and sellers in the private sector to connect. FEMA does not endorse any vendors, and users enter their own information and update as needed.
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.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through 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.
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.
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.
