Marion County 2023 Farmers CARE breakfastWith tremendous volunteers, donors and partners, around 450 people enjoyed a hearty breakfast. Following breakfast, extra eggs, sausage and other food items were donated to Tri-Rivers school, Turning Point and the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry. There was a lot of community engagement and discussion, which made for a great morning.

Marion County 2023 Farmers CARE breakfastAgriculture provides almost everything we eat, use and wear on a daily basis, but many people don’t think about that. This event provided an opportunity for the community to come together, talk with local farmers. Ag Week is about recognizing the contribution of agriculture in our everyday lives. Marion County Farm Bureau hopes every American will
     • Understand how food and fiber products are produced.
     • Appreciate the role agriculture plays in providing safe, abundant and affordable products.
     • Value the essential role of agriculture in maintaining a strong economy.
     • Acknowledge and consider career opportunities in the agriculture, food and fiber industry.

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.

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.
