2022 Cuyahoga annual meeting

The 2022 Cuyahoga County annual meeting was held at the Perk Cup Cafe & Grill with 40 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 Cuyahoga 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. George Vasiloff, Fred Holzman, Kim Roslan, Jolene Workman, Debbi Klun and Jen Skoczen were re-elected to the county board of trustees and all policies passed.

Kathy King was chosen by the county trustees as the 2022 Member of Distinction! Kathy has been a past Membership Coordinator and is highly involved in the Used Tack Sale and is a “great” board member!

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.

 

 

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.

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.

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.
