COLUMBUS, Ohio (OFBF) – Kirsten Ameling of Pemberville has been named member service specialist for Ohio Farm Bureau. 

In this newly established position in northwest Ohio, Ameling will be engaging members at an individualized level by connecting the organization to the member based on their needs. She also will build relationships with local agribusinesses, county-endorsed Select Partners, local Nationwide-appointed agents and benefit providers. 

Ameling earned her bachelor’s degree in agriculture communications from Ohio State University and began her career at Luckey Farmers, Inc., as the marketing and communications specialist. She is also the Tiffin Seneca Farmers Market manager. Prior to accepting her new role at Farm Bureau, she served as Sandusky County Farm Bureau president.

Growing up in a farming family in Pemberville, Ameling was active in 4-H and FFA during her youth and has judged livestock competitions throughout the country. She is currently the co-coach of the Wood County Livestock Judging Team. 

Ohio Farm Bureau is the state’s largest and most influential farm and food organization. Its mission is working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities. Learn more at ohiofarmbureau.org.

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.

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.

Giving farmers a voice
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.
