The 2024 Muskingum County Farm Bureau and Boyer Insurance scholarship winners are Avery Vasko and Mason Prouty. As part of the scholarship, Mason and Avery participated in a two-day adventure across parts of Muskingum County visiting different ag businesses.
On the first day, students visited McNutt Farm and watched their collies work sheep and cattle. Also on day one, students went to the German Farm Market and learned how it all started. The last two stops on day one were Windy Ridge Jerseys Dairy and McDonald’s Green House and Corn Maze.
On day two, Mason and Avery visited Boyer Insurance and learned about the agriculture of insurance. They also spoke with representatives from OSU Extension, Soil & Water Conservation District, and Natural Resource Conservation Service. In the afternoon the scholarship winners visited LinJus Farm and learned about their feedlot operation as well as their plans to have a mobile farm stand that should increase their direct-to-consumer sales. The last stop of the experience was Curly Girl Farm. Curly Girl Farm is a produce operation that also sells cut flowers and hosts you-pick flower events.
Avery and Mason shared their experience with the County Board of Trustees and received their scholarship at the June board meeting.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.
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.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
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.
