Thank you to Energy Cooperative for being a 2022 Sponsor of Licking County Farm Bureau!

Energy Cooperative is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 1936 by a group of farmers in Knox and Licking County. They provide safe and reliable energy to their members at reasonable rates. The members elect the board members, attend annual meetings, and vote on matters that affect the company. 

Energy Cooperative cares about their members and the communities they serve in. They donate to schools and parks, provide scholarships for college, and allow volunteer hours to the United Way. In 2005, a community service program called Operation Round Up was adopted. This program “rounds up” a member’s bill to the nearest dollar amount and that amount is donated to charities in their service areas. In 2019, Electric Cooperative partnered with Ohio Farm Bureau and they made a $25,000 donation to the Fisher Fund for Lifelong Learning.

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.

Giving farmers a voice
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Finding farm labor
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.

Strong communities
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.

CAUV: Past, present and future
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.

So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
