Marion County Farm Bureau asks its community leaders and Farm Bureau members to provide input on the issues and policies that need attention in our community, because your experience and perspective is appreciated and valuable to the organization.
Marion County Farm Bureau’s Policy Development Meeting is set for June 11, at 9:30 a.m. at Kramer Farms (Loyers’), 3333 Firstenberger Rd., Marion. The meeting will last no more than two hours and refreshments will be provided. Please make your reservation by May 31 by completing this form, email [email protected] or call the office at 419-747-7488.
Farm Bureau policy resolutions are the backbone of the organization and provide the framework for the organization’s advocacy for family, community and food security. These policy positions guide efforts to address real community issues – issues such as regulations, funding public education and services, environmental protection, animal care, health care, and landowner’s rights. Not only are the policies used to develop programs, projects and advocacy at the state and federal level, but just as importantly, they are used to help guide the yearly plan of work for Marion County Farm Bureau volunteers.
The policy development committee will use this input to provide policy resolutions to the membership at the Marion County Farm Bureau annual meeting. Those approved may be considered at Ohio Farm Bureau and American Farm Bureau annual meetings. If you are unable to attend, you can still participate. Please complete the input survey by May 31. If you have questions email [email protected] or call the office at 419-747-7488.
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.
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.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
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.
