Monroe County Fifth Grade Field Day

Monroe County Farm Bureau volunteers Glenda Thomas and Bess Lusk presented “My Pizza Comes from a Farm” to over 175 fifth graders in Monroe County at the annual day field event. The students were able to see all the ingredients that are needed to make a pizza, such as wheat, milk, peppers, cheese, sauce, and ingredients to make the dough.  At the end of the demonstration, each student was given a piece of pizza to enjoy along with a goodie bag with various items.

Other educational topics during the field day included electricity, honey bees, pollination, recycling, deer and turkey calls, and furs and pelts.

Presenters for the event included Noble SWCD, Monroe County OSU Extension office, the Monroe County wildlife officer, Monroe County Herb Group, Monroe County Farm Bureau, South East Ohio Joint Solid Waste Management District, South Central Power, and ODNR-Division of Forestry.

Other county Farm Bureau volunteers who helped were Steve Burkhart, Mark Landefeld, John Lusk, and Stacy Sharp.

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.
