Investing in our Youth
Farm Bureau partnered with Nationwide and local Nationwide agent, Jamon Sellman of the Sellman Insurance Agency, to donate a total of $1,000 to the Invest in Youth Program. The program provides financial assistance to youth within the county who demonstrate financial need, and allows them to participate in membership and programs throughout the year.
We are on your side!
Our legacy agency has been committed to providing the best service possible to Clark and Champaign county farms for over 73 years. We are excited to announce that we are now an independent agency. This allows us to reach out to a multitude of carriers to be sure your home, autos and farms are covered adequately and at a great value. This in no way diminishes the fact that we are still enormously proud of our relationship as an Elite Farm Agency with Nationwide.
The farm product that Nationwide offers is second to none, and we will continue to offer that wonderful product whose roots were fostered in Ohio Farm Bureau! As we continue to work hand in hand with your Clark and Champaign county Farm Bureaus into this upcoming year, we hope to find some sort of normalcy again. We look forward to the events and educational opportunities we will be supporting and attending. Hope to see you there!
The agency’s mission statement, “To protect local families, farms and businesses as if our own-through education and consultation” continues to be our focus, and we are confident it will lead us into a wonderful 2021 of new and continued relationships.
So, stop in for a visit! We love being your one-stop-shop for farm and crop insurance. Whether you have questions, your insurance needs have changed, or you just want to have a cup of coffee and “shoot the bull,” we are here for you!
Don’t forget you can also stop by our Urbana location to renew your Farm Bureau membership. We still have plenty $5000 reward signs, Champaign County Farm Watch signs and No Trespassing signs.
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.
