Madison County Farm Bureau Members,

It has come to our attention that Farm Bureau and its position on various topics was brought up during the recent primary election. We wanted to make our positions clear to you.

Ohio Farm Bureau and Madison County Farm Bureau are strong supporters, in general, of private property rights. However, we also have state policy that supports the preservation of farmland, and a county policy passed by our members last year that supports solar infrastructure not be placed on prime farm ground.

Always remember that the positions of Ohio Farm Bureau and your county Farm Bureau are set by you, the members, through the policy development process. Any position taken by the state or county starts with policy developed by the members at the local level. Madison County Farm Bureau will again be having discussions about policy to propose at the state level, and will work with our fellow delegates from across the state of Ohio to make sound policy decisions on this and many other issues facing as farmers and landowners.

Sincerely,

Kyle Young

Madison County Farm Bureau President

 

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.

10-year campaign for safer roads
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.
