Join us to meet with county representatives. State Senate Candidate and current State Rep. Susan Manchester, Rep. Tim Barhorst and Rep. Angie King have been invited as our legislative guests. The purpose of this meeting is to interact with our state legislators and discuss issues and concerns of Farm Bureau members.

The conference will begin at 11:30 a.m. with a policy discussion, followed by a buffet-style lunch at noon provided by your county Farm Bureau. Following lunch, each legislator will give a brief legislative update and then Farm Bureau members will begin to discuss issues and ask questions. We will adjourn around 1:45 p.m.

This is an excellent opportunity to meet with your state legislators. Farm Bureau has a great reputation with our legislators for holding this conference with well-informed members who are truly interested in Farm Bureau policies.

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.

Giving farmers a voice
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Finding farm labor
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.

Strong communities
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.

CAUV: Past, present and future
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.

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.
