The 2024 Hog Wild Contest came to an end Saturday with the winners being announced at the Main Stage of the Jackson County Apple Festival. Congratulations to Happenings Bistro – Pig Quest; the people of Jackson County have voted you the TOP HOG of the county by contributing over 27,468 votes or $274.68 in your pig in just seven days! Your grand total for both Rounds 1 & 2 is $676.31. The People’s Choice Award went to Jackson County Banking Center – Piggy Rose, which collected 54,551 votes in their pig tallying $545.51 in the first round of voting alone. This year’s Most Creative/Original Hog Award went to Southern Ohio Smiles – Pork N Pop and the most Facebook Likes winner was Davis Veterinary Services – Miss Apple Blossom with 242 likes.
This year the Hog Wild Contest raised a total of 592,169 votes or $5,921.69 cash! We had 40 hogs participate, which means 40 businesses competed to see who could decorate their hog and get out and get the most votes (money) raised for scholarships and other youth activities that we get requests for in Jackson and Vinton counties.
This contest started out giving one scholarship, and now because of this event, we proudly give six scholarships and will continue to increase that number each year. Thank you to all of the businesses who participated in the Hog Wild Contest this year!
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.
