The Trumbull County Farm Bureau Board of Trustees would like to honor our 2022 scholarship recipients, Desirae Allen and Colby Turon.

Desirae is the daughter of James and Denise Allen of Leavittsburg. She is a sophomore at Clarion University in Clarion, PA, majoring in speech pathology. Desirae is involved with The Camelot Center; and serves as a volunteer at the hospital; with Vacation Bible School; and with Farm Bureau.  At Clarion, as a softball team member, they volunteer their time in the community doing things like working out with Special Olympics participants, going to local schools, cleaning up the community and doing a trunk or treat.  Desi was on the Dean’s List in the fall of 2021.

Colby is the son of Joe and Meghan Turon of West Farmington. He is a 2022 graduate of Cardinal High School in Middlefield and will be attending Hiram College in the fall majoring in biology.  He has been involved in Cardinal Varsity Soccer; Cardinal Drama Club; Kiwanis Key Club; the Cardinaires- Show Choir, and Honor Society. Outside of school, Colby has participated in the Trumbull County 4-H- Cows R Us Club; the Trumbull County Judging Team, and the OSU 4-H Judging Team.

Congratulations, Desirae and Colby.  “Best of Luck” in your future endeavors!

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.

Farm Bureau connections
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.

Giving farmers a voice
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Bringing the farm back to life
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
