2024 MC scholarship recipients

Two students from Monroe County will each receive a $1,000 scholarship to help with expenses for their upcoming college year, thanks to Monroe County Farm Bureau. From the applications submitted, Korah Anderson of Lewisville, and Karli Weckbacher of Lewisville were selected as the 2024 scholarship recipients.

Korah is the daughter of Eric and Darcie Anderson. She graduated from the University of Findlay where she majored in animal science with a pre-veterinary medicine emphasis. In the fall, Korah will be attending The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine.  “Upon graduation from The Ohio State, I hope to practice as an ambulatory large animal and equine practitioner in a rural setting,” she said.

Karlie is the daughter of Steve and Melanie Weckbacher. While Karlie was in high school, she completed over 300 hours of community service. During these hours and events, she completed community service for local groups and organizations like Farm Bureau, Monroe County Soil & Water, and many others. Karlie also completed over 200 hours of internship with local businesses. Karlie will be attending Washington State College of Ohio to study animal science.

Monroe County Farm Bureau congratulates these two fine students on their accomplishments and wishes all the best to our area graduates in their future endeavors.

The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

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.

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.
