2023 Adams County Ag Day

Adams County 2023 Ag DayThe Adams County Fairgrounds recently played host to an extraordinary event that left a lasting impression on the minds of 750 preschoolers and kindergarteners from around the county. Ag Day, a celebration of agriculture and farming held April 26, provided an exciting opportunity for these young learners to experience hands-on activities that showcased the importance of agriculture in our daily lives. 

One of the main attractions of Ag Day was the opportunity to “milk” a life-size replica cow, complete with udders and a simulated milking system. Under the guidance of enthusiastic volunteers, they learned about the milking process and had a chance to squeeze the udders, mimicking the real-life experience. Another engaging activity that captivated the children was making fresh butter in a jar. As they shook the jars vigorously, the cream gradually transformed into a solid mass of golden goodness. It was a simple yet powerful lesson about the transformation of raw materials into food and the importance of agriculture in providing for our basic needs.

We hope Ag Day ignited a passion for agriculture within their young hearts, leaving them with a lasting impression that would shape their understanding and respect for the farmers who play a crucial role in feeding the world. This event is a collaborative effort amongst several community organizations and would not be possible without the teens who volunteered to assist in running this large event.

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.

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

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.

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.
