Supporting our farmers during the drought
Your input is needed!
As many of you know, our community is currently facing a drought, and our farmers are experiencing significant challenges as a result. We want to do everything we can to support them during this difficult time.
To better understand the specific needs of our farmers and how we can assist, we’re conducting a brief survey. Your feedback is crucial in helping us identify what resources and support are most needed right now.
The drought needs survey will take just a few minutes to complete, and your insights will play a vital role in ensuring our farmers have the support they need to weather this crisis.
Thank you for taking the time to help us help our community. Together, we can make a meaningful difference for our farmers and the entire region.
If you do not have a need, but are willing to help, please let us know that as well. Call us at 740-201-2739!
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.
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
