2023 Guernsey Graze

Guernsey County Farm Bureau recently sponsored the Guernsey Graze event to benefit our three FFA chapters in the county: Buckeye Trail, Meadowbrook and Mid-East Career Center. We are very grateful to all of our sponsors especially our events sponsors at the $1000 level. Sponsors included Bamfield Farms, Bears Den/360 Burger, BiCon, Farm Credit Mid-America, Gray Family, I70 Auctions, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1105, Kaufman Realty, M & M Feed and Supply, McCormick Farm, Southeastern Ohio Regional Medical Center, and Teal Dove.

Chef Nicole Bates served a locally sourced gourmet meal consisting of smoked pork loin with maple bourbon glaze, red wine and root vegetable beef pot roast along with numerous side dishes. Charcuterie boards with the FFA emblem along with cheeses and meat adorned the tables. The meal was provided in large part by donations from Peoli Produce Auction. 

Entertainment was provided by Landon Tom.

Following dinner, a live and silent auction was held with numerous donated items from local businesses. We thank all of our donors, participants and sponsors for a highly successful evening. All proceeds will be distributed to the three FFA chapters this fall.

 

 

Farm Labor Resources
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.

Strong communities
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.

Leadership development
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.

Young Ag Professionals program
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.

Growing our Generation
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.

Groovy Plants Ranch
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.

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.
