Farm Bureau member Clair Schockling and Chris Wells along with Noble Soil & Water Conservation District held Ag Day May 10 and May 11 for third grade students for Noble and Guernsey County. On May 11 they held the event at EORDC in Belle Valley. The students visited several sessions throughout the day with their class and learned about a variety of topics. The main theme was corn — its many types and uses in our diets and our lives. With the overwhelming generosity of local merchants, businesses and organizations, the students were able to get great souvenirs from their activities, and they got a T-shirt with the names of the sponsor on the back. One of the sessions included a sample of tasty Ohio popcorn for each student.
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.
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.
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.
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.
