Congratulations to the scholarship winners for Athens-Meigs County Farm Bureau. Each student received a $250 scholarship to the college of her choice for the 2024-2025 school year.

We had the opportunity to select one scholarship recipient from Athens County and one from Meigs County. This year we would like to congratulate the Athens-Meigs Farm Bureau Scholarship recipients: Sheridan Boyd from Athens County, and Shayla Hysell from Meigs County!

Sheridan is a 2024 graduate of Federal Hocking High School. Sheridan plans to attend Ohio University this fall to major in education. She plans to become an agricultural education teacher in the future!

Shayla is a 2024 graduate of Meigs High School. Shayla plans to attend The Ohio State University ATI to major in biochemical science – biology. She plans to become a large animal veterinarian!

Help us to congratulate these two ladies and wish them the best of luck this fall!

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.

Strong communities
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.

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.
