As a new program year begins, the Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake and Trumbull County Farm Bureau boards of trustees would love to hear input directly from members. What do members want to see from Farm Bureau? What don’t they want to see? How they want to see it? and more. There are always volunteer opportunities if for those who are interested in that, as well.
Completing the survey earns a chance to win one of several Farm Bureau goodies, from shirts to hats, stainless mugs, beach towels, Christmas ornaments and more.
The survey is open to nonmembers, too. Let Farm Bureau know the things you would like to see if you were to join your county Farm Bureau.
To request a paper copy of the survey, please email or call 440.426.2195.
All input is appreciated. All information gathered will be used to help plan the upcoming program year and to improve the services offered locally.
The survey ends Monday, November 30, 2020
Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.
I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.
With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.
If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.
