Kayla Weaver AgriPOWER graduation 2023

Kayla Weaver of Upper Sandusky recently graduated from Ohio Farm Bureau’s AgriPOWER Class XIII. The elite leadership program was started in 2008 to help agricultural advocates gain influence over public policy issues that impact their businesses and communities.

Weaver is a member of Wyandot County Farm Bureau and is owner and principal agent for Crossroads Crop Insurance in Upper Sandusky. She is past president of the county Farm Bureau board, serves on the Wyandot County Senior Fair Board, and is a local 4-H leader.

Over the course of a year, Class XIII participants learned from experts on how to become better leaders and advocates for the agricultural industry, including spokesperson and media training, etiquette training, social networking and communications. They learned about public policy matters important to their local communities, as well as the state, nation and world. They visited Washington, D.C. where they learned about national and global issues, and they visited diverse agricultural operations in Texas so they could better understand the differences and similarities in agriculture from state to state. 

Partnering with Ohio Farm Bureau on AgriPOWER Class XIII are Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation, Ohio Soybean Council, Farm Credit Mid-America, Select Sires, Freedom Freight, Crossroads Crop Insurance and Highland County Farm Bureau. 

Applications for AgriPOWER Class XIV will open this spring. To learn more about AgriPOWER, visit ohiofarmbureau.org/agripower.
