The Hocking County Farm Bureau is looking forward to a new year serving members and cultivating our community.
Advocacy. The Hocking County Farm Bureau gathered input from members to develop local, state and federal policy affecting agriculture. Hocking County delegates brought local policy forth at the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting. In 2021, Ohio Farm Bureau will work to advance policy on issues important to you, including: rural broadband, timber management, water quality, and the local food supply chain. County leaders will meet with policy makers to bring to light these and other policy issues during virtual Ag Week at the Capital, Feb. 15-19.
Education. The Farm Bureau aims to ensure a prosperous future for your farm business and the agricultural industry in Hocking County. In 2021 we invite you to attend the Farm Tax Talk Webinars.

The county Farm Bureau will host member education sessions on land management and conservation issues.
