Every year Ross County Farm Bureau holds a policy breakfast meeting in the spring with members and elected officials for ideas and discussion concerning agricultural policy for local, state and national issues. These policies are presented at the county annual meeting. Approved policies are then presented to all local, state and federal legislators. Because of COVID-19 and the restrictions of public gatherings, Farm Bureau is opting for this alternative method for member input.

Please share any concerns Farm Bureau should address on any issue at the local, state or national level. Some examples include: energy, water quality, voting, pandemic preparedness, economy etc.

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.

Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

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.

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.
