Group Member Business Spotlight

Every one of our members is unique and so are their stories. Each week, the Group Member Spotlight takes a behind-the-scenes look at one of our group/business sponsorship members to showcase their story of who they are and what they do!

Our next Membership Spotlight is….Magyar Farms

Magyar FarmsMagyar Farms, LLC is a 3,000-acre grain farm in Ashtabula County owned and operated by the Magyar Family.

Jeff Magyar and his family milked cows until 2007 when they made the switch to focus only on growing grain. The farm had been leaning toward grain in the years leading up to the transition, and following the death of Jeff’s father, Robert, in 2008, the Magyars became a full-time grain operation.

Today, the family farms about 3,000 of their own acres and rents an additional 550-600 acres in Ashtabula and Trumbull counties. The Magyars grow corn and food-grade soybeans that are marketed to Japan.

The Magyar family also operates a public grain storage facility in partnership with Centerra Co-Op, which gives farmers a local market to sell their grain.

If you or your business is interested in becoming a group member or sponsor of Ashtabula County Farm Bureau events and programming visit our website or email

By being a group sponsor of your county Farm Bureau you help us continue to protect the future of agriculture, promote Ohio agriculture and support local youth! 

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
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Finding farm labor
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
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.

CAUV: Past, present and future
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.
