Farm Bureau, gathered in downtown Columbus to meet one-on-one with their state
senators and representatives during Ohio Farm Bureau’s annual Ag Day at the Capital
Feb. 15. Ohio Farm Bureau priority issues such as farmland preservation, eminent
domain reform and strengthening the state’s food supply chain were discussed, along
with a host of other community issues.
Attendees were joined by Gov. Mike DeWine and the newly appointed director of the
Ohio Department of Agriculture, Brian Baldridge. They joined Ohio Farm Bureau
Executive Vice President Adam Sharp for a fireside chat to share goals for the H2Ohio
water quality initiative, protecting farmland from development pressures and how tokeep the food supply system running smoothly and safely for all Ohioans.
The annual Ag Day at the Capital event embodies the grassroots efforts of Ohio Farm
Bureau member volunteers.
David Bright, Alyssa Webb and Roy Vaughan were there on behalf of Athens-Meigs County Farm Bureau and visited Rep. Jay Edwards and Sen. Frank Hoagland during their time in Columbus.

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.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
We really appreciate what Farm Bureau has done to get people interested in this line of work and workforce development and getting people interested in this industry.
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.
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.
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.
