Chespeake Elementary

Congratulations to Becky McClelland with Chesapeake Elementary for being named as the recipient of a $250 scholarship toward her “From Seed to Salad” project!

Lawrence County Farm Bureau held its first Farm to Fork event Aug. 31, 2023. The Farm to Fork Event showcases local foods and agricultural commodities through a dinner on the farm. This event is a ticketed event, raising funds to promote agricultural literacy in our community schools. The funds raised through this event provided the opportunity for McClelland’s students to grow tower gardens and incorporate fruit plants. This school year her students have been growing all kinds of plants! With this project the students have learned about plant management, measuring, cleaning and cutting of the items they have grown. The kids have done a fantastic job this year and we can’t wait to see what Mrs. McClelland is up to next! Along with providing the teacher scholarship, Farm Bureau was also able to place the American Farm Bureau Foundation Book of the Year, along with the curriculum, in the hands of each elementary school in the county!

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.

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.
