Ross 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. Ross County Farm Bureau ended the 2022 membership year with 722 total members of which 634 had a direct relationship with agriculture.

The dues amount for Ross County was raised to $120 per year as a result of the county members voting for the increase at the county annual meeting last August. The dues increase took effect 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.

Strong communities
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.

Growing our Generation
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.

Business Solutions
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.

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.

Advocacy
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.
