On Thursday, Dec. 9, the 103rd Ohio Farm Bureau Annual Meeting kicked off with President Bill Patterson giving his first address to delegates to discuss his years of memories of attending this meeting and his vision for 2022 and beyond. The Ohio Farm Bureau Annual Meeting Kickoff Lunch presentation also took place Thursday, featuring remarks from Nationwide and the presentation of membership and county awards, Ohio Farm Bureau’s Young Agricultural Professionals awards and Distinguished Service Awards.
Monroe’s delegates included Cliff Sickler who attended in-person, along with his wife Marianne, while Janet Witten-Conn and Lesley Workman attended virtually. We would like to thank our delegates for attending and participating at this year’s OFBF annual meeting.
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.
