Hocking County Farm Bureau has begun the planning aspects for the annual Hocking County Farm Bureau Ag Days, which will be held at the Hocking County Fairgrounds May 13 and 14, 2023. Many of the same activities and demonstrations once again will be on display, plus the planning committee is working to add some new aspects. Plan to see several hit-and-miss engines, antique tractors, a sawmill, and other pieces of equipment. There will be a large number of vendors with wares to sell. Plus there will be livestock workshops for 4-H and FFA members on how to feed and care for fair animals.
One of the major events each year is the annual benefit tractor ride. All of the proceeds from the benefit ride will go toward combating Batten’s Disease. It is free to attend the annual Hocking County Farm Bureau Ag Days, but donations are appreciated
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.
