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.
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.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through 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.
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.
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.
