County holds Beef Quality Assurance meeting
On Jan. 27 the Lawrence County Farm Bureau in conjunction with Lawrence County OSU Extension held a Beef Quality Assurance meeting. The meeting was held in order to get beef producers certified in Beef Quality Assurance. Beef quality assurance is a certification program that allows beef producers to gain more value for their animal by promoting a positive public image along with gaining more education themselves on the product they raise, according to the beef quality assurance website. There were around 30 people in attendance the night of the program who became certified for Beef Quality Assurance.
I'm eternally grateful for the support Ohio Farm Bureau scholarships provided in helping me turn my dreams into reality.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
