Greene County Young Ag Professionals attend 2023 Winter Leadership Experience
Greene County Young Ag Professionals attended the 2023 Winter Leadership Experience that was held Jan. 27 and 28 in Sandusky, Ohio at Kalahari Resorts and Convention Center. The Young Ag Professionals Winter Leadership Experience is an annual conference with the opportunity for young professionals to build personal and professional skills, network with agricultural leaders and learn to make a difference in their community, Farm Bureau, and agriculture. Conference sessions covered topics ranging from traditional agriculture and niche farming/marketing to advocacy and consumer education topics.
Sarah Thomas said: “ An awesome weekend spent at the Young Ag Professionals conference with Farm Bureau. Learned about buying at a multitrack auction, building our brand, and how to negotiating with confidence!”
This annual event is an opportunity to enhance leadership experience while building personal and professional skills. Farm Bureau members between the ages of 18 and 35 years old are eligible to attend. The 2024 conference will return to Columbus.
I'm eternally grateful for the support Ohio Farm Bureau scholarships provided in helping me turn my dreams into reality.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
