During the recent Ross County Farm Bureau annual meeting, members voted to increase the dues rate from $81 to $120 as of Dec. 1, 2022. The Ross County Farm Bureau truly appreciates everyone who is a current member and your membership is vital to the organization. So the Ross County Farm Bureau is offering any member with a membership anniversary date between Dec. 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023, an opportunity to pre-pay their membership at the current rate of $79. This offer is only good until Nov. 15. If you wish to renew early, please contact the county Farm Bureau office at 740-474-6284. Any members between the age of 18-24 may also renew by Nov. 15 for $25.
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.
