Last week, representatives from our counties attended the 104th Ohio Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting in Columbus where they served as voting delegates.
During the two day event, delegates took part in developing and adopting policies for 2023 as well as recognizing the last year of accomplishments.
The delegates who attended were Drew Schmidt and Uriah Cade of Lawrence County; Tammi Goeglein, Hannah Thompson, and Holly Reitano of Athens-Meigs County; and Jake Bodimer, Lewis Bodimer, Matthew Hemphill and Mike Hemphill of Gallia County. We would like to thank all of the delegates who took the time away from their farms, families and jobs to attend annual meeting.
Also, congratulations goes to Gallia County Farm Bureau for winning one of the OFBF Innovation awards with their “Meat the Local Butcher” event! They will go on to showcase this event at the American Farm Bureau annual convention in Puerto Rico in January!
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.
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.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
