Aug. 12 – 18 was the 170th Mercer County Fair. Once again, this year we kicked off the fair season giving our junior fair participants a Farm Bureau T-shirt. We also supported the junior fair livestock sale and concluded the week with our annual Hoof It! scavenger hunt. Special thank you to our Hoof It! partners… Cooper Farms, Mercer Soil & Water Conservation District, OSU Extension Master Gardeners, and USDA Farm Service Loans.
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.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
We really appreciate what Farm Bureau has done to get people interested in this line of work and workforce development and getting people interested in this industry.
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.
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.
