“Why Farm Bureau?”

I saw an opportunity with Farm Bureau for personal and professional growth as well as leadership opportunities. Farm Bureau is a great grassroots organization that provides a voice to local state and national policymakers.

Read more about Jim and his family below 👇🏼
Jim is married to Nicki Coy and they reside in Harrison Township. With their three children, they keep busy on the farm with a cow/calf operation, a few hogs and a handful of chickens. Jim works full-time off the farm for the Farmers Exchange as the branch manager at the Waynesburg location. Nicki is a science teacher at Sandy Valley Local Schools. In addition to being the current Carroll County Farm Bureau president, he is a member of the Methodist church in Magnolia and a board member of the Carroll County Double Beards, a local chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation. In his free, Jim loves to travel with his family.

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.

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.

10-year campaign for safer roads
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

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.
