Reagan Saunders

Reagan Saunders has been named the recipient of the 2023 Cecil Huston Farm Bureau Scholarship sponsored by Greene County Farm Bureau. Reagan will receive her scholarship at the 2023 Greene County Annual Meeting.

Reagan is the daughter of Craig Saunders and Betsy Lairson and is a 2023 Greeneview High School graduate. She will be attending The Ohio State University where she will be majoring in animal sciences on a pre-veterinary medicine track. Throughout high school, she was involved in various clubs including Green Club, FFA, 4-H, Student Council, Greene County Junior Fairboard, Teen Leadership Council, and volleyball. Saunders spent her summers raising pigs and goats to exhibit at the county, state, and national levels. 

“To me agriculture is more than just a part of life. It is a passion, a lifestyle, and a strong community of compassionate and hard-working people. I am so thankful that I can be a part of such an amazing industry,” she said.

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.

Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.

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.
