Emily Rudd

Emily Rudd is the organization director for Clinton, Greene, Fayette, and Warren counties. In this role, Emily serves as a liaison between the state and county Farm Bureaus. She assists her counties to organize policy efforts, education outreach, and membership. 

Rudd is from north central, Ohio where she grew up on a small farm. She was an active Young Agricultural Professionals member in Crawford County where she traveled to Washington, DC for Ohio Farm Bureau’s annual leaders trip, and to Ag Day at the Capital.

Rudd is a 2022 graduate of Wilmington College where she majored in agriculture with a concentration in animal science. Rudd’s Farm Bureau background started as a Crawford County scholarship recipient and summer intern. She also interned for the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association and Ohio Beef Council. Rudd has a deep passion for grassroots agriculture and advocating for farmers starting at the local level. 

A fun fact about Emily is that she showed market lambs and goats when she was in 4-H and FFA.

Emily believes your membership is extremely beneficial to Ohio agriculture. Through your membership dues, Farm Bureau is able to advocate for farmers right here in the Buckeye State. As a grassroots organization, Farm Bureau starts at the local level with everyday farmers to positively impact agriculture. Not only is change made through membership, but communities of agriculturalists are built. Through these ever-growing communities and agricultural support, we can continue to benefit Ohio agriculture!

New and beginning farmers
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.

We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.

Youth pathways in Farm Bureau
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.

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.

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.
