2021 Membership Campaign

Final Membership Update April 7, 2021

WOW! You are an incredible group of people. I could not be more proud of the great work that all of you have done. We completed last year’s campaign at the beginning of the pandemic and had hoped for a more normal membership campaign in 2021. That did not occur, but in Farm Bureau fashion, you all found new safe and socially distanced ways to connect with people to tell your story and ask them to join you as a member.

We finished the campaign with 68,382 paid active members for a gain of 461 active members.

Here is a final list of some of the accomplishments for the 2021 Membership Campaign:

  • 70 counties achieved at least active gain and the Milestone Award.
  • 15 of those counties achieved at least a 3% active gain and the Explorer Award.
  • 4 of those counties achieved at least a 6% active gain and the Trailblazer Award.
  • 18 counties achieved total gain.
  • 5 Murray Lincoln Award winners.
  • 50 Ambassador Club winners.
  • 11 Champions Club qualifiers.

Congratulations to the following individuals who have achieved the Murray Lincoln Award:

  • John Miller – Holmes
  • Ervin Raber – Holmes
  • Tracy Robinson – Pike
  • Mick Scott – Jackson-Vinton
  • Pam Updike – Jackson-Vinton

Please be sure to see the entire list of our top signers below.
 
Thank you all for your commitment to continue to help your organization grow.

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.
