Ohio Farm Bureau will again be partnering with Ohio FFA to hold the Ohio Leadership Camp. It will be held June 25-28 at Ohio FFA Camp in Carrollton. The cost is $175 per camper. Ohio Leadership Camp is open to Farm Bureau youth as well as FFA, DECA, FCCLA, HOSA, and SkillsUSA students. Sessions will be delivered by the National FFA as an Advanced Leadership Development Conference and allows students to build their leadership skills, participate in team bonding tasks and create friendships with other youth from across Ohio.
Please click here for the brochure for more information on the Ohio Leadership Camp. Parents can find pertinent camp and safety information here. Campers must be high school students for the upcoming 2021-2022 school year.
Richland County Farm Bureau will provide sponsorships for one-half the cost (full camp fee is $175) for the first five students that contact the office. You will be reimbursed after attendance at the camp session. Call 419-747-7488 or email [email protected] to register your youth for the camp sponsorship.
Camp registration is done online, generally by the FFA advisor. Farm Bureau youth not enrolled in FFA can register by completing both forms from the student page of the Ohio FFA Camp website (click here) and submitting them with payment to Kelsey Turner, at Ohio Farm Bureau no later than June 5.
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.
