3rd Annual Dinner in the Street
It was a great evening for our 3rd Annual Jackson-Vinton Farm Bureau Dinner in the Street. Thank you Jackson, Oak Hill and Wellston FFA chapters for serving our guests! We want to give a shout-out to our amazing partners, Smokin’ Butts BBQ, Sixth Sense Brewing, Downtown Treatery, Virgil Hamilton Nationwide Insurance, Triple D Ranch, OSU Extension Pike County and our awesome Farm Bureau volunteers! Appetizers were made, and a whole lot of shakin’ going on making butter, not to mention fellowship and lots of laughs! Guests from eight surrounding counties came to Jackson for this amazing event. Thank you all: we raised $3,000 for our three local FFA Chapters!
I'm eternally grateful for the support Ohio Farm Bureau scholarships provided in helping me turn my dreams into reality.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
