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.

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.
