19th Annual Agriculture Awareness Day
On Tuesday, May 10, the fourth graders from all the Gallia schools joined us at the fairgrounds for the 19th Annual Agriculture Awareness Day. Throughout the day the classes rotated through numerous stations presented by River Valley FFA, Gallia Academy FFA, South Gallia FFA, Gallia Soil and Water Conservation District, Bridgeport Equipment, Ohio State University- Gallia County, Shooting Aces 4-H Club/Gallia Conservation Club, Holzer Health System, Ohio Bee Association, United Producers Inc, Ohio Beef Council, and Bodimer Brothers Showpigs.
Prior to the event, all students were able to participate in a T-shirt drawing contest, where the winning drawing would be featured on the front of the T-shirt to go home with over 400 students and presenters. Jaycen Gleason of Hannan Trace Elementary won 1st place and was the featured drawing. Wesley Bodimer of Green Elementary was 2nd, and Honorable Mentions went to Gracie Martin of Hannan Trace and Layne Wright of Vinton Elementary. The students all enjoyed a day full of activities and learning about the various aspects of agriculture. We wish to thank all of the sponsors for making this day possible!
I'm eternally grateful for the support Ohio Farm Bureau scholarships provided in helping me turn my dreams into reality.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
