Collegiate Farm Bureau at Ohio State

The 2021 Ohio State Collegiate Farm Bureau Food Fund Off is set for this week leading up to the matchup between Ohio State and Michigan State in the Horseshoe. Chapters from Collegiate Farm Bureaus from both schools will go head-to-head to see which one can raise the most funds for Feeding America.

“In October of last year, we were looking to create a philanthropy event that really makes an impact but also crosses university lines with some friendly competition,” said Ohio State Collegiate Farm Bureau President Tyler Zimpfer. “When we decided to help out Feeding America, we knew we also wanted this event to be around Thanksgiving, when the thought of having a family meal is prevalent.”

The campaign officially launched on Sunday and will continue until the end of the Ohio State-Michigan State game on Saturday, and any and all Ohio Farm Bureau members and Buckeye fans are invited to participate. To take part, visit foodfundoff.com and select Ohio State Buckeyes. Updates on which Collegiate Farm Bureau is leading will be posted daily through the Ohio State Collegiate Farm Bureau social media on Facebook and Instagram with #FoodFundOff.

Last year, the two chapters raised over $2,500 and provided more than 25,000 meals with Ohio State edging out Michigan State for the championship. Do your part to donate to a great cause and keep the trophy in the Buckeye State!

New and beginning farmers
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.

Growing Tomorrow Grant
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.

Youth pathways in 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.

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.

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.
