Once again this year we kicked off the fair season giving our junior fair participants a Farm Bureau “I Care About My Animals”  T-shirt. During the fair, past T-shirts were sold in the Farm Bureau Building along with our delicious milkshakes!

New this year,  we hosted a Young Ag Professionals event June 16. Anyone ages 18-35 who farms or works in the agricultural field within Paulding County could stop by the Extension office meeting room and enjoy cookies, drinks, socialize with other area agricultural professionals, and learn more about opportunities available through Ohio Farm Bureau and the Young Ag Professionals.

Then on Saturday, June 18 from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. was the Farmer Share Breakfast located in the Farm Bureau Building. Breakfast was served until gone and attendees were able to watch and listen to the livestock sale from the patio. Later from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., Kids Dream Day was held at the race track. Fair pictures, daily schedules, event  recaps and updates were posted to the Farm Bureau Facebook page by our media interns, Bethany Klopfenstein and Jamy Hunt.

 

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.

Farm Bureau connections
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.

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.

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.
