Farm Credit Mid-America is providing grant funding to support Young Agricultural Professionals programming. Interested groups must apply by Nov. 12, 2021 at 11:59 p.m.

Eight $500 grants will go to local YAP groups and two $500 grants will go to Collegiate Farm Bureau groups. These grants provide funding for educational programming or YAP events held in the county, multi-county areas or on a college campus.

All grant applications must be received by Nov. 12, 2021 by 11:59 p.m. Groups must submit photos of their YAP group or of the event in order to apply for the award. Only complete applications received by the deadline will be considered.

The YAP State Committee will announce the grant recipients during the YAP Winter Leadership Experience Jan 28-29, 2022.

Ohio Farm Bureau’s Young Agricultural Professionals are singles and married couples ages 18 to 35 who are interested in improving the business of agriculture, learning new ideas and developing leadership skills.

Farm Bureau connections
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.

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.
