Meigs Ag Day

Athens-Meigs County Farm Bureau hosted the 5th Annual Meigs County Ag Day at the Meigs County Fairgrounds on May 7, 2024.

Each year we host the Meigs County 4th grade students to teach them about different types of agriculture. This year, there were 254 attendees. The students rotate through 13 different stations throughout the day. Each student was able to take home a free drawstring bag with all of the bag sponsors on it along with a brochure about what Farm Bureau is and the events they were able to participate in for the day!

We could not host this wonderful event each year if it was not for the Meigs County Fairboard for allowing us to use the grounds, our wonderful sponsors who believe in what we are doing and our fantastic presenters that make the day a success!

The mission of the Ohio Farm Bureau is working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities.  

New and beginning farmers
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.

Growing Tomorrow Grant
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.

Youth pathways in Farm Bureau
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.

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.

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.
