2022 Hocking County delegates

Hocking County Farm Bureau is in the midst of the 2023 membership campaign, and it is so very important that we remain strong and relevant. As a membership organization whose main role is to make certain that agriculture remains a viable business in the county and the state of Ohio, our voice is strong because of our members. Hocking County Farm Bureau ended the 2022 membership year with 369 total members of which 334 had a direct relationship with agriculture.

The dues amount for Hocking County was raised to $100 per year as a result of the county members voting for the increase at the county annual meeting last September. The dues increase took effect on Dec. 1. As current Farm Bureau members, you have already received or will soon receive your renewal notice. Please renew your membership and allow us to continue to be a strong voice for agriculture. The 2023 membership year ends as of March 31, 2023.  Please don’t hesitate to renew your membership.

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
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.
