Kentucky tornado relief donation made
Gallia County Farm Bureau has made a donation to assist Kentucky farmers impacted by a deadly December 2021 tornado.
In December, the Columbiana County Farm Bureau challenged each county Farm Bureau to donate $500 to the relief fund to help Kentucky farmers. They had seen mass devastation and the need to help those affected was desired. The thought behind the challenge was to raise $50,000 from the county Farm Bureaus and Ohio Farm Bureau to send down to the relief fund.
Many efforts were happening to gather materials and send truckloads down to help, but a concern was making sure those materials were used. Money could always be used and could be diverted into areas of the most need. Gallia County Farm Bureau board of trustees voted to donate $500 to the fund.
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, D.C.
Through its policies it brings together people in the agricultural community and invests in building vibrant communities that support agriculture.
If you have issues with local planning or have legal questions, someone at the Farm Bureau has the answer for you, or they’ll connect you with someone who does.
As a member of Farm Bureau, I am glad that this organization takes action when necessary to protect and advance agriculture.
Farm Bureau is an incredible organization that has given me countless professional development opportunities in addition to advocating for all sizes and types of farmers.
We go to a lot of Farm Bureau events, and there’s a lot of camaraderie built because you’re meeting with people who have similar interests and goals.
