Ag Day at the Capital 2023
Members of the Ross County Farm Bureau, including Delma Rouleau, attended the 2023 Ag Day at the Capital in Columbus.
Rouleau is the Ross County Farm Bureau Board of Trustees secretary and chair of county Policy Committee. Farm Bureau members from all across the state of Ohio met with elected officials to discuss key issues that impact agriculture.
They heard from Gov. Mike DeWine and Ohio Department of Agriculture Director Brian Baldridge.
I'm eternally grateful for the support Ohio Farm Bureau scholarships provided in helping me turn my dreams into reality.
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.
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.
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.
