Emily Stevens of Bucyrus has been named organization director and leveraging trends specialist for Ohio Farm Bureau, serving members in Lucas, Ottawa, Sandusky and Wood counties. 

Stevens’ promotion is part of a pilot project expansion to 24 northwest Ohio county Farm Bureaus to test an alternative field staff structure.

In this new role, her focus will be on providing the latest trends and issues so members are ready for what’s next, using and promoting resources like Nationwide’s Ag Insight Center, AFBF Market Intel and Ohio Farm Bureau’s Ag Intelligence Service.

Stevens grew up on a small market goat farm in north central Ohio and began showing lambs and goats through 4-H and FFA. Her parents are long-time Crawford County Farm Bureau members. 

Stevens’ own Farm Bureau history began as a county scholarship receipt and intern for the Crawford, Marion, Morrow and Richland County Farm Bureaus. She was a Collegiate Farm Bureau member at Wilmington College and has been a Young Agricultural Professionals member in Crawford County the last two years. Stevens also has attended Farm Bureau’s Washington, D.C leaders trip and Ag Day at the Capital through her YAP membership. 

Stevens, who earned her FFA American Farmer degree in 2021, graduated from Wilmington College with a bachelor’s degree in agriculture in December 2022.

Ohio Farm Bureau’s mission is working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities. Learn more at ohiofarmbureau.org.
