The purpose of this grassroots policy proposal process is to hear from our members and community leaders on issues Farm Bureau should address.
Brown County Farm Bureau recently hosted a policy development meeting on the morning of April 9 at the Administration Building on the Brown County Fairgrounds. As a vital arm of the Ohio Farm Bureau, this gathering emphasized the grassroots commitment to fortify the region’s agricultural and food community. From the corridors of local governance to the chambers of state and federal legislature, Farm Bureau stands as a committed advocate for policies that nurture the future of farming.
Representatives from a handful of organizations gathered. Among those present were representatives from Brown County Soil and Water, State Treasurer’s Office, OSU Extension, Farm Service Agency, Brown County Sheriff’s office, Brown County Auditor, Congressman Brad Wenstrup’s office and Brown County Farm Bureau board trustees. The discussions held during the meeting addressed areas of concern facing the agricultural community, touching upon key topics such as H2Ohio, marijuana legalities, railway maintenance, CAUV increases, and workforce development.
By fostering dialogue and collaboration across multiple sectors, the Brown County Farm Bureau continues to exemplify its mission of advocating for policies that empower its members and ensure the sustainability and vitality of agriculture in the region.
Farm Bureau’s role in supporting the agricultural community is crucial, especially during times of significant change and uncertainty.
