2021 Pickaway County Buyers Club

The Pickaway County Buyers Club is a group of businesses, organizations, Farm Bureau members and residents that pool funds to purchase youth livestock projects at the Pickaway County Junior Fair Sale.

Founded in 2018 as a project of the Pickaway County Farm Bureau, the club has grown in donors and dollar contributions each year. Every dollar donated directly supports youth exhibitors. The Buyers Club makes a special effort to target young farmers who receive no bids or minimal bids. As a result, the club increases resources for bidding and ensures that all Pickaway County youth exhibitors receive a premium price for their project.

In 2021, 71 local businesses, organizations, Farm Bureau members and individuals gave $36,834 to support youth at the Pickaway County 2021 Junior Fair Sale! The Pickaway County Buyers Club purchased 65 livestock projects plus 18 add-ons.

Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.

I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.

Strong communities
I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.

Leadership development
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.

With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.

Growing our Generation
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.

If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.

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.
