On June 18, the Morrow County Farm Bureau hosted an Agricultural Tour with three different locations around the county. Attendees learned about a variety of topics and industries ranging from the cattle industry to grain production to the world of retail horticulture.
Tour stops included:
Linder Farms, owned by John Linder and family, is primarily a grain farm located in Edison, Ohio. John, along with his brother, Mike, and wife, Cheryl, run a fifth-generation farm raising corn, soybeans, soft red winter wheat and soybeans for seed, and are preparing to incorporate the next generation to join the operation. Attendees learned about new technologies in the grain farming business, how each member of the farm uses their passions to make it successful, and what the future holds for the grain industry. Thank you for hosting Linder Farms!
HC Farms, owned by Dale and Darla Clinedinst and Linda Hill, is a livestock farm that specializes in beef cattle. At this stop, Farm Bureau members got a glimpse into the cattle industry. Attendees also heard from Levi Foss and Dale, who serve as president and vice-president of Disaster Relief Haulers, a nonprofit organization that provides humanitarian relief efforts related to natural and other major disasters. Thank you for teaching us about your farm and all that you do for communities across the country!
Groovy Plants Ranch, owned by Jared and Liz Hughes, is a family-owned greenhouse and garden center that has a passion for plants and strives to provide the most unique and intriguing botanical oddities from around the world. A tour from Jared gave individuals a look at their newest greenhouses and shipping areas. Attendees also had the opportunity to hear about what the facility looked like starting in 2015 and how it has grown!
A big thank you to Ag Credit of Mount Gilead for sponsoring bottled water for the event, as well as all the stops for hosting this year’s Morrow County Agricultural Tour!
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
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.
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.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
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.
