Crawford County announces 2024 scholarship recipients

Crawford County Farm Bureau is pleased to announce the recipients for the Crawford County Farm Bureau Scholarship:

Sophia Beck, a Crawford County Farm Bureau member, is an undergraduate student at the University of Northwestern Ohio where she is studying agribusiness management. In high school she was involved in 4-H and raised dairy beef feeders and dairy heifers. She grew up helping her grandpa with planting and harvesting on the family farm. Upon graduation from her program she plans to become an agricultural loan officer and return to her family’s operation.

Addison Lust, a recent graduate of Wynford High School, was involved in FFA, 4-H, National Honor Society, Student Council, Interact Club, OH-Pigs, and the Ohio BEST Program. In the fall she plans to attend Kansas State University majoring in animal sciences. She plans to pursue a career in animal science and one day return to the family farm to operate it with her father and grandfather.

A maximum of two $500 scholarships were available to support the further education of Crawford County students. Congratulations to these recipients; the Crawford County Farm Bureau wishes you both the best of luck this fall!

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.

Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

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.

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.
