Noble County Farm Bureau would like to share the Noble County Extension newsletter information with members:

Dear Readers,

I hope the 2021 growing season has treated you well! Most of the county received it’s first killing frost Nov.  2 and now gardens and hay fields are resting until spring. The end of the garden season led to the conclusion of the inaugural year of the Caldwell Community Seed Library. We hope all who participated in the program had a good experience with their seeds and will join us again for the program in 2022. If you saved garden seed from the 2021 season and would like to add them to the seed library, you can drop them off at the Extension office to be inventoried for next season.

Corn and beans are ready (or nearly so) to be harvested. Please continue to watch for and share the road with moving farm equipment as daylight swiftly passes in the evenings.

Deer harvest in Noble County reached 521 deer on Nov. 2 with the statewide yield totaling 36,206 deer so far. That’s a good start to archery season, which will continue through Feb. 6. More details on hunting season dates and bag limits can be found in this edition of the newsletter along with an invitation to OSU Extension & SWCD’s Venison Workshop on Nov. 13. We hope to see you at this or another event soon.

Enjoy the bounty of the season and the company of those you love as we progress into the season of thanksgiving! At OSU Extension, we are thankful for the support of our community and look forward to adding value to your farm, home, family, and business ventures in the months ahead.

Sincerely,

Christine Gelley, M.S. Extension Educator, Agriculture & Natural Resources Noble County Extension

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.

Giving farmers a voice
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.

Finding farm labor
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.

CAUV: Past, present and future
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
