The Coshocton County Extension office will be offering a Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) recertification meeting during the month of December to help producers renew their BQA certification. The session will be held Dec. 14 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in Room 145 at the Coshocton County Services Building located at 724 South 7th Street in Coshocton County. Pre-registration is required as space is limited. There is no fee to attend. Call 740-622- 2265 to pre-register.

If you cannot attend this local session, our friends down in Tuscarawas County will also be holding a Beef Quality Assurance class on Dec. 9 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Sugarcreek Stockyards. Call 330-339-2337 to pre-register.

Online certification and recertification is also available and can be completed anytime .

These sessions also qualify for anyone who is seeking a first time certification.

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.
