Adams County Farm Bureau and the Adams County Soil and Water Conservation District came together Aug. 15 for their annual meeting at the Red Barn Pavilion. The event was a delightful gathering, featuring a delicious meal provided by Hesler Catering. Attendees took the opportunity to reconnect and share in each other’s company before the official business meeting began.
The meeting welcomed various county office representatives, elected officials, and longstanding members, adding to the sense of community. The evening included a short business meeting, where members elected trustees and state annual meeting delegates, and voted on policy and code changes. Moreover, the event was a platform to recognize our volunteers and scholarship winners from the past year and to highlight the organization’s achievements.
Notably, Ty Higgins, Ohio Farm Bureau senior director of communications and media relations, served as the special guest speaker. He emphasized the significance of agriculture and the role of advocacy in ensuring lawmakers understand the impact of the farm bill on farmers. Higgins also provided insights into the various benefits offered by Farm Bureau, including health benefits, the Land is Your Legacy program, the energy program, Stone X, eminent domain successes, and initiatives related to meat processing and CAUV designation.
The evening concluded with a recap of the year’s highlights by Nathan Brown, District 20 trustee for the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation. With 75 attendees, the evening was marked by good fellowship among all those in attendance.
