The agriculture community of Shelby County is excited to announce the first-ever Rural-Urban Luncheon Sept. 17. This unique meal will feature agriculture in Shelby County and promote the contributions of the agriculture industry to our local economy.
Held at the Mike Bensman Family Farm on 9570 St. Rt. 29 North in Sidney, participants will enjoy a locally sourced meal sponsored by Koenig Equipment, Fertilizer Dealer Supply, Bambauer Fertilizer and Seed, along with the Shelby County Pork Producers, Shelby County Cattlemen’s Association and Shelby County Dairy Boosters.
In addition to the great meal, we will hear from our featured speaker Brandi Buzzard-Frobose. Brandi is a Kansas rancher, writer, blogger, and agriculture advocate. She will discuss the evolving landscape of the agriculture industry in the US and how we can all work together to understand where our food comes from now and in the future.
The luncheon will begin at 11 a.m. and an RSVP must be received to attend by Friday, Sept. 10. To attend, please call the Shelby County OSU Extension office at 937-498-7239 or email [email protected].
Proudly hosted by the Shelby County Farm Bureau, Shelby County Soil and Water Conservation District, OSU Extension-Shelby County, USDA Farm Service Agency, and the Shelby County Commissioners, we hope you will join us to learn more about agriculture in Shelby County.
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.
