Farm Bureau goes to Washington, D.C.
Alex Davidson, Belmont County president; Tiffany Smith, Guernsey County vice president; and Clifford Sickler, Monroe County president, along with other county Farm Bureau presidents, traveled to Washington, D. C. March 7 and 8 to express their concerns about many topics such as the farm bill, trade, and other interests.
They met with American Farm Bureau staff, heard from members of the U.S. House Agriculture Committee and Senators JD Vance and Sherrod Brown.
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.
