The Logan County Farm Bureau is excited to announce that the fifth year of the Logan County Agriculture Impact Fund grants is now available!  The grant program was created by and continued to be funded with dollars raised from the Logan County Farm Bureau Agriculture Impact Fund Reverse Raffle event held each spring.

The purpose of the grant fund is to support projects and events that will expand and grow agriculture’s footprint in the county and encourage youth development in agriculture. Grants will be offered to any organization in Logan County that promotes the wellbeing, and enrichment of youth involved in the agriculture community in our county. Grants will be evaluated on a competitive basis and projects submitted for the grant MUST be completed by the 2023 year-end.

Grant Timeline
  • Submissions may begin after Sept. 1, 2022.
  • Applications will be due Oct. 14, 2022.
  • Upon submission, grants will go through two review committees.
  • Recipients will be notified by Dec. 1, regarding their success in the application process.
  • Completed project reports will be due to the committee by Nov. 30 the following year and final payment will be processed.

Our hope is to award as many projects as we can in order to see agriculture’s footprint expand in the county. In the previous two years of the program, the county was able to award over $46,000 in grant dollars, for agriculture projects in our county. 

The grant application is available online or by request. Please direct questions to the county’s Organization Director Jill Smith at [email protected] regarding the application or call the Farm Bureau office at 877-775-7642 for assistance.

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.

Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

CAUV: Past, present and future
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
