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!
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.
