Finding the correct residence is one of the most difficult parts of responding to an emergency. The Hocking County Farm Bureau has partnered with local fire departments to provide reflective address signs to local residents. The signs will help emergency services increase response time, when saving a minute could make a difference between life and death.
“Our rural community has a sparse population, covering a large area. Hocking’s hilly and difficult terrain also create challenges for emergency personnel to respond to emergencies,” said Ivory Harlow, organization director Ohio Farm Bureau Federation. “The Hocking County Farm Bureau hopes the address signs will help fire, police and EMS locate the emergency quickly and save lives.”
The Hocking County Farm Bureau donated green address signs and reflective numbers to township fire departments. Fire departments will affix the signs to residents’ mailboxes so that they can be easily read from both sides. The signs and installation services will be provided to Hocking County residents free of charge. Donations to the township fire departments are welcome.

Residents should contact their township fire department to get a sign and schedule installation:

Ohio Farm Bureau’s mission is working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strength our communities. Learn more at ofbf.org.
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.
