In June 2018, a man attempted to rob a convenience store owned by Jackson-Vinton Farm Bureau member Jason Holzapel, left, pictured with OFBF Organization Director Kim Harless and Jackson County Sheriff Tedd Frazier. Quick thinking by a customer not only foiled the robbery, but also led to the eventual conviction this year of the perpetrator on charges of attempted aggravated robbery. That customer received $2,500 under the Ohio Farm Bureau Property Protection Program for reporting a crime on a Farm Bureau member’s property that led to a conviction. Because the crime happened in 2018, $2,500 was awarded. In 2020 the reward program was increased to $5,000 by the Ohio Farm Bureau state board of trustees.
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.
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.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
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.
