2021 Membership Campaign

Membership Update for March 12, 2021

The weather has been great the last few days. The snow is gone, and I can see a few signs of spring. This time of year also marks the end of our annual volunteer membership campaign. We will complete that on March 31, 2021, and our final target report for the campaign will be April 2, 2021. I know counties are working diligently to make those final phone calls, texts and socially distanced visits to prospective members. Thank you for your help during this year’s membership campaign; you are a very important part of growing the organization.

As of today we have 63,548 paid active members and continue to track toward our goal.

Congratulations to Hamilton County Membership Coordinator Lou Schindler and his team for achieving the Explorer and the Trailblazer Awards this past week for 3% and 6% active member gain.

Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

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.

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.

10-year campaign for safer roads
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
