In lieu of a traditional Farm to City Day with local farmers speaking at Madison County elementary schools, Madison County Farm Bureau provided students kits and videos to learn about Ohio agriculture.
MCFB created 15 “Ag in a Bucket” kits for third grade classes across the county. Each bucket was full of educational materials, including a book for their classroom, Ohio Farm Bureau coloring books, Ohio Beef Council coloring books and activity sheets, Ohio Pork Council pencils and stickers, American Dairy Association Mideast cow erasers and more.
Teachers for all elementary school grades were given a playlist of YouTube videos created by MCFB and Madison County 4-H and FFA members. The video topics include MCFB board member Mike Vallery on farming, Alex Crist on beef cattle, Luke Peart on beekeeping and more.
Madison County Farm Bureau is proud to support and encourage the next generation of agriculturalists. To learn more or support MCFB’s efforts, visit madison.ofbf.org or contact [email protected].
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.
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.
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.
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.
