Local safety training enhances agricultural workers’ well-being
The comprehensive training Feb. 16 covered general agricultural safety, employee health, and mental health well-being
Read MoreOver the three days, participants heard from experts and in turn voiced their thoughts on topics including the 2023 Farm Bill, environmental regulations, energy and economic policies.
In mid-September, more than 100 Ohio Farm Bureau members, including Clermont County Farm Bureau president Joe Glassmeyer III, traveled to Washington, D.C. to visit face-to-face with lawmakers about issues that could have major implications to Farm Bureau members across Ohio. Joe joined a multitude of presidents and vice presidents of the Ohio Farm Bureau at the nation’s capital Sept. 13-15.
Over the three days, participants heard from experts and in turn voiced their thoughts on topics including the 2023 Farm Bill, environmental regulations, energy and economic policies. This is an opportunity for members to help legislators make the connection between what is happening on Ohio farms and what is being debated in the halls of Congress and within federal agencies.
“To have over 100 Ohio Farm Bureau members, all diverse in their roles in Ohio agriculture, come together to meet with legislators in Washington D.C. is what our organization is all about,” said Ohio Farm Bureau President Bill Patterson. “We had a lot to discuss as we visited the Hill, and we always appreciate the opportunity to make our voices heard on behalf of all of our members across Ohio.” Guest speakers include Sen. Sherrod Brown, Sen. Rob Portman, Rep. Troy Balderson and Rep. Bob Gibbs.
“It was a busy and fun few days in Washington, D.C. The Ohio Farm Bureau delegation was able to meet with our elected politicians and staff policy makers, Glassmeyer said. “We spoke about issues pertaining to agriculture in southwest Ohio. No matter what side of the fence you’re on, the importance of food security was agreed upon.”
