Storytime with a Farmer Bucyrus

Storytime with a Farmer is a program held bi-monthly, on the third Tuesday (even months) at 6 p.m. in the children’s department of the Bucyrus Public Library.

Storytime with a Farmer BucyrusCrawford County Farm Bureau developed the Storytime with a Farmer program to provide accurate agricultural information to Crawford County youth. This program focuses on toddler to preschool age children. An agriculturally based book, primarily Book of the Year selections of the American Farm Bureau Federation, is read, and poems and related literature are shared. A quick matching game provides a fun opportunity to reinforce the agricultural content of the month. A fun craft or activity is provided to the children with materials to take home, in an effort to continue discussions of the agricultural information they learned.

In order to improve agricultural literacy in Crawford County, the local Farm Bureau has made it a priority to provide educational opportunities to area youth. In 2023, Crawford County Farm Bureau, in conjunction with Crawford County Cattlemen’s Association, donated eight-book sets, written by Amanda Radke, to seven area schools. These books were provided in an effort to ensure accurate agricultural stories are available to students.

Crawford County Farm Bureau, a grassroots membership organization, is committed to supporting our farm and food community. We are dedicated to working together with farmers to build a robust agricultural community in Crawford County. One of the main pillars of Farm Bureau is to create opportunities for growth. In an effort to meet this goal, the Crawford County Farm Bureau develops programs that meet the needs of not only its members, but also the entire county.

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
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.
