It’s back!  The Woodland Wednesdays workshop series returns on Wednesday, Jan. 13 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for Wicked Weeds, a virtual homeowner invasive species removal workshop.  

Invasive species impact all of us and there’s no better time than the new year to commit to make a positive change. Join this online presentation to learn about problematic invasive plants and techniques on how to remove them. Gain new skills, helpful resources and a renewed desire to tackle invasive species on your own property.

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.

Farm Bureau connections
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.

Giving farmers a voice
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Bringing the farm back to life
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.

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.
