Adams County Farm Bureau celebrates Farm Bureau Day at the Fair

Adams County Farm Bureau hosted its annual Farm Bureau Day at the Adams County Fair  July 12, offering fun activities for all ages. Kids and adults kicked off the day with pedal tractor pulls, where everyone enjoyed some friendly competition. The energetic frog  jumping contest was a hit, bringing lots of laughs and excitement as participants cheered on their frogs. Albeit, sometimes they even crawled alongside their frogs.

Guests were also treated to a fascinating Birds of Prey program, where they learned about hawks, owls and other raptors and their role in keeping nature in balance. It was an educational experience for the whole family. Tractor games added even more fun, with participants competing in events like tractor basketball, showcasing skill and precision behind the wheel.

This annual event gained national recognition as a 2023 AFBF County Activities of Excellence winner, earning county leaders a trip to Salt Lake City in January 2024. Prizes for the day’s competitions included gift certificates to the 4-H Food Booth, further supporting the junior fair. Adams County Farm Bureau combined tradition, education, and community spirit, making Farm Bureau Day a highlight of the fair.

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.

CAUV: Past, present and future
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
