Hello, my name is Brenton. I graduated from West Jefferson High School and continued my education at Clark State. During my time at Clark State, I obtained an associate’s degree in Agriculture Business. My family has farmed for many years and now I enjoy everyday farming with my grandfather. Throughout the years I’ve always heard about Farm Bureau and never realized how much they do for the agriculture industry. There are so many reasons to join Farm Bureau, Farm Bureau does not only support so much behind the scenes but also does great things for the farming community, and I am overly happy to be a part of a great organization. 

Sarah is an Agriculture teacher and FFA advisor at Madison Plains. She is also a proud farmwife in Plain City and new boy mom. She hopes to encourage members to get more involved with Farm Bureau to better advocate for the Agricultural industry.
