Gallia Ag Day 2022

Gallia Ag Day tshirtIn May, Gallia County fourth graders all met at the fairgrounds for a day of fun and education. They rotated through multiple stations learning about different aspects of agriculture, with presentations from River Valley FFA, Gallia Academy FFA, South Gallia FFA, Gallia Soil & Water Conservation District, Bridgeport Equipment, Ohio State University Extension – Gallia County, Shooting Aces 4-H Club/Gallia Conservation Club, Holzer Health System, Thomas White – Ohio Beekeeping Association, Jamie Graham – United Producers Inc., Ohio Beef Council, and Bodimer Brothers Showpigs. 

Prior to the event, the students competed in a drawing contest with the topic being “their representation of agriculture.” The winning drawing was displayed on the front of the free T-shirts sent home with every student on Ag Day! 1st Place: Jaycen Gleason – Hannan Trace Elementary; 2nd Place: – Wesley Bodimer – Green Elementary; Honorable Mention: Gracie Martin – Hannan Trace Elementary and Layne Wright – Vinton Elementary

Giving farmers a voice
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.

10-year campaign for safer roads
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

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.

Select Partner Program
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.

Advocacy
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.
