The Pickaway County Buyers Club is a group of local businesses, civic organizations and individuals that come together to support youth by purchasing market animal projects at the Pickaway County Junior Fair Sale.
During the month of March, the Pickaway County Farm Bureau will double donations to the club, matching contributions up to $5000.
“The Pickaway County Farm Bureau board has decided to match donations dollar for dollar in the month of March to double the club’s impact,” said Bennett Musselman, president of the Pickaway County Farm Bureau, “The match will boost livestock project sales prices and benefit additional youth at the 2021 Junior Fair Sale.”
2019 was the Club’s inaugural year. Over $8000 was spent to support youth exhibitors at the Pickaway County Junior Fair Sale. In 2020, the Buyers Club bid a total of $27,500, purchasing 56 livestock projects and 45 add-ons.
Many local families are facing difficult economic times during the time of COVID. Additionally, the cost to raise a livestock project has risen significantly with increases in the price of feed, supplies and fuel. Increased prices and depressed livestock prices leave local families struggling to provide children with the valuable experience of raising and caring for a livestock project.
“Livestock projects enable learning outside our classrooms and video screens, and those lessons are priceless. The Buyers Club is just one way our Farm Bureau has been championing Pickaway County youths during such trying times,” said Annie Lohstroh, chair, Pickaway County Buyers Club Committee.
You can help. For every dollar donated in March, the Pickaway County Buyers Club gets $2. Give online at pickawaycountybuyersclub.com or call 740-474-6284 to donate by phone. Mail your check to the Pickaway County Farm Bureau at 24633 US Hwy 23 S, Circleville OH 43113.
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.
