The Pickaway County Farm Bureau is the largest membership organization in Pickaway County and is focused on all aspects of those working in the agricultural industry. Pickaway County Farm Bureau was organized and incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1928.
Pickaway County Farm Bureau is one of 86 county Farm Bureaus that make up the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation. In 2024, Pickaway County had 759 members.

The mission of Farm Bureau is “Working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities.” If you are interested in becoming a member of the Pickaway County Farm Bureau, the dues are $95 per year, plus an optional donation of $6 for the AGGPAC fund, which supports better government. You can contact the Pickaway County office at 740-474-6284.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.
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.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
