farm family

One of the biggest challenges that affect farmers’ stress levels can be the family and relationship conflicts that arise on the farm. Clinton County Farm Bureau wanted to create a workshop to aid in those hard conversations.

Guest speaker Andy “Caygeon” Junkin is an expert when it comes to helping farm families get stubborn about moving the farm forward instead of just being stubborn with each other. He was a seventh-generation farmer from Bobcaygeon, Ontario who has seen firsthand how the conflict between farm families can go from bad to worse. After losing his opportunity to farm with his stubborn family, he has made it his mission to help farm families navigate these hard conversations to ensure the future of the family farm.

“This workshop will be the one-day investment that will double farm profit, but more importantly double the odds of your family still farming together in 10 years’ time!”

This workshop will be held on Feb. 4 at Wilmington College in the Center for the Sciences and Agriculture Building located on College Street near the football stadium. The workshop will take place in Room 149 and will begin at  9 a.m. to noon. Then there will be an hour lunch break and then resume back at 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. This event is free to members but will cost $100 for non-members.

Limited spots are available for this interactive workshop so RSVP as soon as possible.  Call the Farm Bureau at 937-382-4407 to reserve your spot before the event. Each participant will get a copy of “Bulletproof Your Farm” by Andy Junkin to take home.

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

Giving farmers a voice
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.

10-year campaign for safer roads
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

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.

Select Partner Program
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.

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.
