The Logan County Farm Bureau is excited to announce that the third year of the Logan County Agriculture Impact Fund grants are now available. The grant program was created by funds raised from the Logan County Farm Bureau Agriculture Impact Fund Reverse Raffle event.

The purpose of the grant fund is to support projects and events that will expand and grow agriculture’s footprint in the county and encourage youth development in agriculture. Grants will be offered to any organization in Logan County that promotes the well-being and enrichment of youth involved in the local agriculture community. Grants will be evaluated on a competitive basis and projects submitted for the grant MUST be completed by the 2021 year-end.

Grant Timeline:

  • Submissions may begin after Sept. 1, 2020
  • Applications will be due Oct. 16, 2020
  • Upon submission, grants will go through two review committees.
  • Recipients will be notified by Dec. 1 regarding their success in the application process.
  • Completed project reports will be due to the committee by Nov. 30, 2021 and final payment will be processed.

The goal of this program is to award as many projects as possible in order to see agriculture’s footprint expand in the county. In the previous two years of the program, the county was able to award over $31,000 in grant dollars used for agriculture projects. 

Below is one of the 2020 grant award winners, Ohio Hi-Point Career Center’s Animal Science Program, which started its own apiary habitat. 

The grant application is available online or by request​. Please direct questions to Organization Director Jill Smith at [email protected] regarding the application or call the Farm Bureau office at 877-775-7642 for assistance.

Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

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.
