One of the hottest topics to date is the Land Use Plan proposed by the Fairfield County Commissioners. Several meetings have been held over the past year in each of the townships in Fairfield County. A meeting was also held back in the spring hosted by the Fairfield County Farm Bureau. Several members attended to learn about the proposed land use plan, to ask questions, and to express concerns. Commissioner Jeffrey Fix gave the presentation and fielded several questions. Following that meeting, the Fairfield County Farm Bureau appointed three board members to serve as a research committee on the proposed plan. Lynne Schultz, Kyle Sharp, and Mike Wolfe have had the opportunity to meet with Commissioner Fix on several occasions to serve as advocates for agriculture. From those meetings, some recommendations have been made and Commissioner Fix wishes to bring an update on the plan back to our members.
On Thursday, July 25, 2024, at 7:30 p.m., Fairfield County Farm Bureau will once again host a Land Use Plan update meeting in Ricketts Hall on the grounds of the Fairfield County Fair. All Farm Bureau members are encouraged to attend. Please contact the county Farm Bureau office at 740-474-6284 to reserve your spot.
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.
