Fayette County Farm Bureau kicked off its 2023 Annual Meeting Aug. 15 at the Fayette County Airport. The meal for the evening was catered by Farmers Pantry Catering. Guest speaker, Paul Lyons, vice president of membership for the Ohio Farm Bureau, discussed the value membership holds and where the organization is headed in order to meet the needs of its members. Lyons and the state board are working on advancing agriculture and enhancing communities in hopes of gaining new members.
Afterward, President Robin Beekman presented the award for Member of Distinction to this year’s recipient, John Mossbarger.
Fayette County Farm Bureau made a donation to the Miami Trace FFA chapter and presented them with a check of $5,000. This donation was made possible from the proceeds from this summer’s Farm to Fork event. Without the community’s support we would not have been able to make this possible. A fun evening was had by all with another successful year.
Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.
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.
I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.
With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.
If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.
