For the past three years, the Holmes County Farm Bureau has hosted Harvest for Hunger and through that event has raised over $30,000 for the food pantries in Holmes County. While Farm Bureau is unable to have an event of that magnitude this year, the food pantries in Holmes County need help more this year than ever before.

Leading up to and including the evening of the county Farm Bureau Annual Meeting Aug. 27,  donations will be collected from anyone wanting to support the Holmes County food pantries. Following the annual meeting, the money will be distributed on behalf of Holmes County Farm Bureau.

The Holmes County Farm Bureau Board of Trustees has committed to supporting the community by donating the money typically used to host Harvest for Hunger and the annual meeting to start this initiative. The board has already committed $3,000 which includes 250 pounds of pork.

Please join these efforts to support the food pantries in Holmes County in their time of need. Donations can be made by cash or check made payable to Holmes County Farm Bureau with the memo “Annual Meeting donation” and mailed to 377 W. Liberty St., Wooster, OH 44691. Credit card donations can be made by calling the Farm Bureau office at 330-263-7456.

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.

Farm Bureau connections
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.

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

Bringing the farm back to life
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
