Thursday, Sept. 9 at the Belmont County Fair, seven buyers purchased market hogs to be donated back to Belmont County Farm Bureau. Those buyers were T.J. Jefferis, South Central, EQT Corporation, Buckeye Steel Inc., Equitrans Midstream, Gary Helms-Home Improvement, and Hissoms Service Center.
Wesbanco Bank and Stonehouse Veterinary Service LLC-Em Mower paid for the processing, and a total of 1,294 pounds of pork were donated to 10 area food banks. Devin Cain, Belmont County Farm Bureau president, delivered the pork.
As a result of these joint efforts, food banks in Flushing, along with the Daily Bread Center in Martins Ferry, Saint Vincent De Paul Society of Barnesville, First Christian Church Five Loaves Food Pantry in Barnesville, Bridgeport Christian Friendship Council of Churches Food Pantry, Bethesda Project, St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church of Colerain, Bellaire Salvation Army, Shadyside Fellowship UMC Pantry and St. Clairsville Council of Churches Food Pantry were recipients of the packages of pork.
Thank you to the buyers, Wesbanco Bank and Em Mower again for the generous help and support.
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.
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.
We really appreciate what Farm Bureau has done to get people interested in this line of work and workforce development and getting people interested in this industry.
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.
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.
