2024 County Farm Bureau Activities of Excellence winners, at AFBF Convention
Clinton County CAE award
2023 OFBF Annual Meeting

Clinton County Farm Bureau was recognized as one of the 24 Farm Bureau counties in the nation to win the County Activities of Excellence Award from American Farm Bureau. The county’s Piggies, Pie, Play Ball, and Putt-Putt program was created to help at-risk youth learn responsibility, ownership, and leadership skills.

Each year, the county raises a hog for the county fair. With funds made by a pie auction during the county’s annual meeting and a putt-putt golf outing, the Farm Bureau members serve as mentors to at least one at-risk youth to raise a hog for the fair. After the fair, the youth are then treated to a baseball game.

Clinton County Farm Bureau was recognized at the Ohio Farm Bureau Annual Meeting. They were even given the opportunity to travel to Salt Lake City for the American Farm Bureau Federation Convention in January. Members are pictured with AFBF President Zippy Duvall

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.
