For the first time in its more than 100 year history, Ohio Farm Bureau’s annual meeting was largely held remotely across the state this past week. The yearly face-to-face gathering of members from all around Ohio was prohibited by orders from the Ohio Department of Health limiting indoor gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this first-of-its-kind annual meeting allowed members to get involved as much as they chose from the comfort of their home, physically together with other delegates from their county or while they are working on the farm. On this Our Ohio Weekly, host Ty Higgins shares some of the many highlights of this year’s annual meeting.
00:00 – Ohio Farm Bureau’s Executive Vice President, Adam Sharp, addresses members during the organization’s 102nd Annual Meeting.
16:50 – Frank Burkett, Ohio Farm Bureau president, recaps a challenging, yet successful 2020 for members.
23:50 – Peggy Whitcomb shares all about the National Society Descendants of American Farmers “To the Beat of Agriculture”.
32:20 – Organization Director Kim Harless talks about Scioto County Farm Bureau’s award winning Conservation School is Cool event.
42:20 – American Farm Bureau Chief Economist Dr. John Newton shares results of a new survey that show consumers still have a high trust for farmers.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
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.
