June 11, 2022 was a beautiful day in Warren as we celebrated National Dairy Month and our Trumbull County Dairy Farmers and farm families!
There were cow balloons and goodie bags for the kids and prizes for anyone who wanted to take their turn at answering an agriculture-related question. A gift basket with a “dairy-theme” was also given away. Our lucky winner was Meghan Turon! Anyone could join or renew their Farm Bureau membership at Farm Bureau Day for a FREE Farm Bureau coffee mug or mason jar mug.
Cockeye Creamery partnered with Trumbull County Farm Bureau and 10% of the proceeds during the celebration went to the Trumbull County Farm Bureau Scholarship program. This program was started in the mid 80s as a member benefit to help provide college scholarships to our members with college-bound dependents.
The application is available yearly in the early spring with the deadline being on or around April 1. It is an online application available available on our website and Facebook page.
This year’s donation was $246.81! “Thank you Cockeye Creamery” for your continued support – we appreciate it!
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.
