Winners need not be present to win. Prize winners must be at least 21 years of age to win a handgun.

How to Purchase Tickets
Tickets can be purchased through county Farm Bureau staff, board members, and by calling the office at 440.426.2195.
The raffle is created, administered, sponsored, promoted, and operated in all respects in strict compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws.
Due to postal regulations, raffle ticket stubs cannot be mailed. When an order is placed online or over the phone, an authorized representative from the OFB Foundation will complete the ticket by filling in the name, address and phone number provided and will ensure the raffle ticket is entered in the drawing.
Ticket stubs will be available for pick up at the county Farm Bureau office at 8460 Ridge Road, North Royalton, OH 44133, or by appointment in the county.
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.
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.
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.
