Richland County Farm Bureau asks community leaders and Farm Bureau members to provide input on the issues and policies that need attention in the community. Your experience and perspective is appreciated and valuable to the organization. Please join us for breakfast and a policy development meeting on June 26, at 7:30 a.m. at the Longview Center, Room 235, located at 1495 W. Longview Ave., Mansfield.
The policies of Farm Bureau are the backbone of the organization. They provide the framework through which we advocate for family, community and food security. Our policies help guide efforts to address real community issues — issues such as regulations, funding public education and services, environmental protection, animal care, health care, landowner’s rights, and community planning. These policies are used as a foundation for programs, projects and advocacy at the state and federal level, but just as importantly, are used to help guide the yearly plan of work for Richland County Farm Bureau volunteers.
In order to get an accurate count of guests, please make your reservation by June 17, by completing this form, email [email protected] or call the office at 419-747-7488. If you are unable to attend but have suggestions, please submit them here or email them to [email protected] by June 17.
The Richland County Farm Bureau Policy Development Committee will use this input to provide policy resolutions for a vote by our members at our annual meeting in September. Those approved will go on to the Ohio Farm Bureau, and they may move on to the American Farm Bureau.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
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.
