The county Farm Bureau Board of Trustees is the heart and strength of the organization.
Locally there are 12 trustee seats on the board. All trustees must live, work, or have an active agricultural interest in the county. Your 2024-2025 Farm Bureau Trustees are Dale Hulit, President; Tim Johnson, Vice-President; Brian Alt; Walt Bonham; Bob Cohen; Linda Fackler; Jerry Hayes; Loren Hulit; Kelly Staley; Amanda Stanfield and Gary Ulmer. The 2025 OFBF delegates elected to serve with the president and vice-president are Brian Alt and Bob Cohen. Jerry Hayes will serve as an alternate.
Richland County Farm Bureau looks for ways to impact and improve the community. There is still one open seat on the Richland 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 the county office at 419-747-7488 or [email protected].

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.
