Richland Breakfast 2023Richland County Farm Bureau celebrated agriculture, local farmers and its rural community on March 25, during National Ag Week, with its Farmers Share Breakfast.

With tremendous volunteers and partners like FFA chapters and the county Soil and Water Conservation District, around 375 people enjoyed a hearty breakfast. Donations collected from the breakfast will go to area food banks in honor of the FFA chapters who helped during the event. There was a lot of community engagement and discussion, which made for a great morning.

Richland National Ag Week 2023Agriculture 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. Richland 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.

Follow Richland County Farm Bureau on Facebook and bookmark the webpage for details on events and programs throughout the year.

 

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.

Farm Bureau connections
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.

Giving farmers a voice
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Bringing the farm back to life
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.

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.
