Each year the Central Ohio Farm Bureaus look forward to honoring a Women in Ag recipient. Choosing worthy recipients from among the many so qualified is difficult, and yet we do not want to overlook any possibilities.
Recipients are chosen by the Women in Ag Committee. In finding worthy candidates, it is helpful to the committee to receive recommendations from the County Farm Bureaus. Traditionally the award is given to a woman who has made an outstanding contribution to her local community and the industry of agriculture.
There are no application forms or specific guidelines for recommendations. All that is requested is a letter giving as much detail of the person’s background and accomplishments as you can.
Please forward recommendations to Melinda Lee ([email protected]) by Friday, Jan. 27, 2023.
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.
