Calling all K-4 teachers! We are excited to announce the first Western Ohio Agriculture in the Classroom Conference to be held on June 14, 2022, at MVP Dairy in Celina, Ohio. This one-day event offers teachers new learning opportunities to share with their classrooms while experiencing new opportunities to learn more about agriculture!
The schedule will feature a farm tour of MVP Dairy and the learning center, the opportunity to take part in four break-out sessions about agriculture literacy, science, and food. Additionally, hear from keynote speaker, Jeanne Gogolski, the CEO of Education Projects.org. Jeanne works to inspire the next generation of leaders to feed the world and has been connecting agriculture to Ohio classrooms for more than 20 years.
Register today! Space is limited to 50, so act now. Here is an informational flyer, including the agenda. Please share this with your friends and colleagues. CEU credits are available.
If you have any questions please contact the Mercer County Farm Bureau office at 877-775-7642 or email at [email protected].
This event is sponsored by Cooper Farms, Mercer County Farm Bureau, MVP, and several generous sponsors: Homan Inc, Farm Credit Mid-America, American Dairy Association Mideast, Mercer Landmark, St. Henry Bank, and the Ohio Poultry Association.
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.
