2022 Ashtabula County Ag Day seeking volunteers
Ashtabula Ag Day, sponsored by Ashtabula County OSU Extension and the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau is the county’s youth agricultural education event, where first graders come to the Ashtabula County Fairgrounds to experience agriculture through hands-on and interactive stations. Activities range from butter making, learning about soil and planting tomatoes, to learning more about farm animals, and learning about the origins of the food and fiber people need.
We are back to normal this year and can’t wait to see all of our first graders in Ashtabula County attending Ag Day 2022 on Friday, May 13, 2022.
Volunteers are the key to success
We are currently looking for volunteers with a passion for agriculture and our youth to help us out. This event has an annual attendance of over 1,000 first graders and 250 volunteers are needed. Please register as soon as possible. This is a truly amazing and impactful experience and we would love to have you!
If you can’t spare your time, but would like to help us financially support the program, you can donate today.
For more information contact me at 440.426.2195 or Abbey Averill at 440.576.9008.
The Ag Day program May 13, 2022, is not open to the public. In order to volunteer, you MUST be registered.
OFBF Mission: Working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities.
Through its policies it brings together people in the agricultural community and invests in building vibrant communities that support agriculture.
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.
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.
