The Greene County Farm Bureau may award up to two $1500 scholarships for the 2020-2021 academic year. The scholarship recipients will be recognized at the Greene County Farm Bureau 2021 Annual Meeting to be held in August.  

Recipients selected will be from applications that meet the mandatory criteria. A scholarship selection committee, appointed by the Greene County Farm Bureau board of trustees, will evaluate the scholarship applications and present their recommendations for the awards to the board for approval.  From the applications deemed valid, the committee will evaluate each candidate’s academic performance, agricultural involvement and activities.

The purpose of the scholarship program is:

  • To financially assist and reward a college-bound high school senior and/or college enrolled student who intends to further their education.
  • To recognize the present and future scholastic ability of young adults.
  • To provide scholarships for graduating seniors and/or students pursuing undergraduate degrees. Preference will be given to those enrolled in an agricultural or agriculturally related field of study and who are under the age of 25 at the time of application.
  • To select recipients based upon merit, abilities and accomplishments, who are either active members or children of active members, with preference given to those who are active in agriculture related activities, and those majoring in an agriculture related field.

Financial need does not enter into the selection process, and financial information is not requested for the scholarship application. Apply by March 29, 2020. Interview will be held on April 3, 2021.

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

Giving farmers a voice
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.

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.

Select Partner Program
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.

Advocacy
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.
