In current Public Policy meetings within Butler and Hamilton counties, members have expressed concerns on the increasing costs of production driven in-part by federal policies and regulation.

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.
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.
