Farm Dog of the Year contest Trip

Meet Trip! He is a border collie who works on Learning Tree Farm with owner and Montgomery County Farm Bureau member, Loralynn Kadell. He is such a good boy that he is one of the finalists for the People’s Choice Pub award in this year’s American Farm Bureau Farm Dog of the Year contest!

AFBF Farm Dog of the Year Contest TripTrip helps manage and move livestock on the farm, while also helping engage people in hands-on, nature-based education when they host people on the farm.

The Farm Dog of the Year contest, supported by Purina, celebrates farm dogs and the many ways they support farmers and ranchers in producing nutritious food for families and their pets across America.

Members of the public are invited to vote online for Trip in the People’s Choice Pup contest as part of the overall competition. The People’s Choice Pup will win barking rights and a $1,000 cash prize from Purina. The winner of People’s Choice Pup, along with the Farm Dog of the Year and runners-up, will be announced in January at the American Farm Bureau Annual Convention.

To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.

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.

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.
