Firefighters are invited to join us on Oct. 22,2024 at 6 p.m. at the Rome Fire Department, 3162 US Highway 6, Rome, OH 44085 for Grain Bin Rescue Training taught by National Education Center of Agricultural Safety. This training is made possible by the generous support of Mark Bruns Agency, Nationwide, and Ashtabula County Farm Bureau.
During this training, firefighters will learn the main cause of grain engulfments and will be instructed on how to safely enter into a grain bin to perform a grain bin rescue. They will learn safety around grain and grain storage facilities, lock-out tag-out procedures, treating a patient with crushing injuries, use of the grain rescue tube, and how to make cuts into the grain bin panel for full engulfment rescue. The program allows several engagements with the grain bin rescue simulator dealing with both partial engulfment and full engulfments.

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.
