Each school year, American Farm Bureau offers mini-grants of $500 to Collegiate Farm Bureaus to aid in chapter recruitment, leadership development, community service outreach, officer development, purchase of educational materials, and registration costs for conferences. Grant funds must be used within the same school year in which they are awarded.
Application deadline is Oct. 6 at noon. Selected chapters will be announced on or before Nov. 1, 2022.
For the 2022-2023 grant cycle, up to 10 chapters will be selected. Successful chapters will receive an initial $250 upon selection as a winner. The chapter must complete a Recap Report and submit it with accompanying photos by April 25, 2023, to receive the second $250.
Contact Kelsey Turner at Ohio Farm Bureau for more information about the grants and Ohio’s Collegiate Farm Bureau chapters: [email protected] or 614-246-8218.
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.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
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.
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.
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.
