Madison County Ag Week 2023

The Madison County Commissioners recently signed a proclamation declaring March 21-27, 2023 as National Agriculture Week. Organization Director, Melinda Lee, along with Madison County Farm Bureau board members Annette Rinesmith, Kayle Mast, and Austin Crumley, London FFA Vice President Evan Moran, and FFA President Jaiden Ballah, Madison Plains FFA President Lindsey Call, and Treasurer Kinsey Null presented each commissioner a basket filled with locally grown and produced items, as well as information regarding National Ag Week.

American agriculture plays a crucial role in strengthening our economy and in providing food for people, and it is our nation’s largest employer. We call upon citizens to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of all those who produce an abundance of agricultural products that strengthen and enrich our community and our nation.

To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.

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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
