Crawford County Farm Bureau held its annual meeting Sept. 10, at Reinhard Farms. Howard Cole provided music during dinner.
The Crawford Farm Bureau 2023 Annual Meeting minutes and 2022-2023 fiscal
year financials were presented and approved. Other business included trustee and delegate elections, and policies were voted on and approved. Melinda Sellman was inducted into the Crawford County Ag Hall of Fame, and scholarship recipients Sophia Beck and Addison Lust were recognized.
County Farm Bureau volunteers were recognized and programs and accomplishments from the last year were reviewed and celebrated. Organization Director Abra Dunn and OFBF Regional Trustee Rose Hartschuh provided remarks.
The 2025 OFBF state annual meeting delegates elected to serve with the president and vice-president are CeCelia Von Stein and Lydia Feik. Kayle Roe, Alissa Cramer, CeCelia Von Stein, Keith Ehmann and Doug Foreman were elected to serve on the trustee board.
Above all, the county Farm Bureau Board of Trustees is the heart and strength of the organization. Locally there are 16 trustee seats on the board. Agriculturalist members or Young Ag members, or their spouses, whose dues are paid, are eligible for the office of trustee. All trustees must live, work, or have an active agricultural interest in the county.
There are six open seats on the Crawford County Farm Bureau board. Trustees are asked to attend board meetings, serve on committees with other volunteers and help direct the work of the county Farm Bureau.
If you’d like more information about Farm Bureau, or better still you’d like to serve as a trustee or help with some of our projects, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact one of the county trustees, or contact the county office at 419-747-7488 or [email protected].

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.
