During the holiday season, the Mercer County Farm Bureau spearheaded a thank you to hospital workers in the county who have gone above and beyond to support the community during these unprecedented times.

The county Farm Bureau arranged for each member of the Mercer Health staff to receive a “thank you” bag which included snacks and other materials to help lift their spirits during this difficult time. Farm Bureau members worked with great sponsors to help make fulfilling all 600 employees’ thank yous possible. Bag supporters were Cooper Farms, Ohio State University Extension-Mercer County, the Cornett-Dunkle Insurance Agency, the Jordan Agency, the Fraternal Order of the Eagles-Celina, Bud’s Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep Ram, and the Parkway FFA.

Mercer County board members Brenda Mescher, Gary Mescher, and Dennis and Theresa Howick helped fulfill the bags.

“The county Farm Bureau felt very strongly about wanting to give back to our community during the holiday season, especially this year as things are increasingly difficult on all of us,” said Jill Smith, organization director of Mercer County Farm Bureau. “We felt like supporting our front-line workers was an ideal way to thank them for all the hard work they are doing keeping our community safe.”

The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

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.

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.
