The 2022 Huron County annual meeting was held at the Village Barn in Monroeville with 70 members in attendance. The annual meeting was a chance to reflect on our 2022 accomplishments, recognize our special award recipients, celebrate our members and volunteers and set the course for Huron County Farm Bureau for 2023.
Members were asked to review the candidates’ information for the board of trustees and OFBF annual meeting delegates for 2023. They also reviewed the slate of policies for the county, state and national levels. Kraig Schafer, Jamey Kamann, Haley Evans, Kyle Cramer and Jeremy Sherman were re-elected to the county board of trustees and all policies passed.
Bonnie Malone was chosen by the trustees as our 2022 Member of Distinction! Bonnie has been a 4-H Youth Educator for more than 30 years and was a vo-ag teacher for seven years. We appreciate her service and the many young lives she has encouraged to be a part of agriculture!
The annual meeting was a perfect example of our members working together for Ohio farmers as we continue to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities.
Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.
I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.
With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.
If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.
