Read MoreThe Ross County Farm Bureau recently held its annual meeting at St. Marys Family Life Center in Chillicothe. Farm Bureau members in attendance conducted business that included approval of several policy suggestions as well as amendments to the county Farm Bureau code. Code changes were made as a result of changes to the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation Code which took place at the state annual meeting last December.
The county code changes include changes in the classification of members. Currently, Farm Bureau has three classes of members (Active, Community, and Young Active). As of December 1, 2022, there will be one membership class, meaning that all members of the organization will have voting rights. However, only members who have a direct affiliation with agriculture may serve as a member of the board or as a delegate to the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) annual meeting. The next change that was passed deals with the annual dues amount. Currently, members of the Ross County Farm Bureau pay $81 per year, but starting December 1, 2022, the dues rate will increase to $120.

Two K-8 grade Ohio educators will be awarded up to $2,000 to attend the conference in Salt Lake City June 24-27.
