Coshocton County Farm Bureau

During the 5th annual Breakfast on the Farm, community members contributed over 10,000 pounds of food and more than $1,600 in donations to support a local food pantry- all in the name of a little friendly competition.

Coshocton County Farm Bureau challenged each of the three FFA Chapters in Coshocton County to raise the most food and donations for the Shepherd’s Christian Assembly. The winning chapter would receive a pizza party for the entire chapter. Local Ford dealership Jeff Drennen Ford, took the challenge to the next level and placed trucks in their service bay for the community to contribute donations as well.

At the end of the event, the Coshocton County community had donated seven truckloads of food to the pantry. River View FFA won the FFA Food Fight with 5,790 pounds of food and $338. Ridgewood took a close second with 4,260 pounds of food and $1,196. The Career Center brought in 260 pounds of food and $100. The school districts supported the FFA Chapters with elementary food drive contests and district OneCalls.

Coshocton County Farm Bureau volunteers and local leaders served made to order omelets to the 125 guests in attendance at Lapp Farms. During the breakfast event, Ridgewood FFA hosted a pedal tractor pull. Following the event, Muskingum Area Mental Health & Recovery Services Board presented information about mental health.

Giving farmers a voice
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.

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.

Select Partner Program
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.

Advocacy
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
