Union County Emergency Management Agency has put together a Farm Emergency Plan template to help families have a plan in place on their farms in the event of an accident or emergency.

DISCLAIMER: This Farm Emergency Plan Template has been prepared to serve as an aid for developing plans to avoid or reduce adverse consequences that might otherwise occur for farmers in the event of disaster.

Union County, Ohio cannot ensure that by following this template a farmer can avoid bodily injury or property damage. Therefore, we make no warranty, expressed or implied, nor assume any legal liability or responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, product or process disclosed and assume no liability for any injury, death, or property damage which may occur in connection with any disaster.

The provisions of this guide should be applicable to all Union County agricultural entities. A member of the Union County Emergency Management Agency is available to answer any questions or meet with you to assist with the writing of your plan.

It is preferable that your plan remains in this order, but it is not required if that does not work for you.

Step 1: Keep copies of your plan in both hard and digital formats

Step 2: If you wish, UCEMA is happy to review your plan.

Step 3: UCEMA would like to know what equipment that might be available during an emergency (especially heavy equipment). Please send a listing of any equipment that you would be willing to assist the county during an emergency to [email protected].

Step 4: Set a date for an annual or bi-annual review of your plan.

Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

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.

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.
