2023 Crawford County Policy Development Lunch

Crawford County Farm Bureau asks its community leaders and Farm Bureau members to provide input on the issues and policies you think need attention in our community, because your experience and perspective is appreciated and valuable to the organization.

The Crawford County Farm Bureau Policy Development Meeting is set for June 27, at 11:30 a.m. at the Crawford Success Center, 130 N. Walnut St., Bucyrus. A boxed lunch will be provided. In order to get an accurate count of guests, please make your reservation by June 19. Click here, email [email protected] or call the office at (800) 327-6055.

The policies of the Farm Bureau are the backbone of the organization. They provide the framework through which we advocate for family, community and food security. They help guide efforts to address real community issues – issues such as regulations, funding public education and services, environmental protection, animal care, health care, landowner’s rights, and community planning. These policies are used to develop programs, projects and advocacy at the state and federal level, but just as importantly, are used to help guide the yearly plan of work for Crawford County Farm Bureau volunteers.

The Farm Bureau policy development committee will use this input to provide policy resolutions to the membership at our annual meeting. Those approved will go on to the Ohio Farm Bureau, and they may move on to the American Farm Bureau.

If you are unable to attend, you can still participate. Please complete the input survey by June 19. If you have questions email [email protected] or call the office at (800) 327-6055.

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.

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.

Strong 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.

Growing our Generation
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.

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.
