Adams County Ag Day

The Adams County Fairgrounds buzzed with excitement as local preschoolers and kindergarteners converged for a day full of events April 24. Ag Day, a celebration of agriculture and farming, offered these young minds a hands-on journey into the world of farming and its significance in our lives.

A highlight of Ag Day was the chance to “milk” a faux cow. A lifelike replica, complete with udders, allowed children to experience the process firsthand. Guided by volunteers, they learned about milking and eagerly squeezed the udders, immersing themselves in the activity. They had the opportunity to turn their milk into fresh butter in jars. Through vigorous shaking, cream turned into golden butter, illustrating the transformation of raw materials into food and the vital role of agriculture in meeting our needs.

Ag Day sparked a newfound appreciation for agriculture, instilling respect for the farmers who feed the world. It showcased the power of interactive learning, proving that education can be both enjoyable and transformative. This event was made possible by the collaboration of community organizations, including Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Adams County Soil and Water, and the dedication of teenage volunteers who ensured its success.

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.

Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

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.
