It may not be difficult to find opportunities for leadership within our own lives, whether at home, school, or church; however, you might find it difficult to find leadership programs specifically designed for agribusiness professionals in our local area.
The Auglaize, Logan, Mercer and Shelby County Farm Bureaus would like to change that! This spring we are holding our second year of the ALMS Ag. Leadership Program.
This five-session program will focus on important topics we face today as agricultural professionals. The flyer details the sessions we have planned including leadership development, public policy/engagement, communication, and emerging agricultural issues.
To enhance these learning sessions, we have included tours centered on local agribusiness, the government of Ohio, and a local area agriculture travel tour.
Cost and Registration
We ask that you consider participating in this exciting program and/or offering the opportunity to your employees. The cost to participate will only be $150 per participant and the program will be limited to 30 participants. This cost can be paid by the individual or the employer. Participants must reside in one of the four counties. Participant registrations are due by Friday, Feb. 23.
We truly appreciate your time and dedication to agriculture in our area. We look forward to discussing this exciting program with you. Please contact the Farm Bureau office with any questions at 877-775-7642 or Organization Director Jill Smith [email protected]
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
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.
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.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
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.
