Twenty-nine members and guests attended the 2024 annual meeting Sept. 10 where action was taken on the organization’s policy priorities, elections were held and special achievements were recognized. Farm Bureau leaders and David Marrison addressed the meeting. Marrison is a professor and field specialist in farm management for Ohio State. He spoke to the group about farm succession and transition planning and different resources for them to be aware of when starting those types of conversations.
Farm Bureau members passed a policy that could offset cross contamination of deli meats and cheeses to help those with food allergies.
Re-elected to the county board of trustees were Keri Mootz, Montana Runnels and Darrell Humphreys. Elected to serve as delegates to the 2025 OFBF state annual meeting were Uriah Cade, Drew Schimdt and Morgan Klaiber, with Rachael Fraley serving as an alternate.
Lawrence County Farm Bureau President Drew Schmidt discussed different activities that the county Farm Bureau had taken part in. From showing support at the county fair with hosting the Pee Wee Hands-on Livestock Clinic and the scavenger hunt, to hosting the 2nd annual Farm to Fork dinner and 3rd annual Ring on the River open beef show within the last year.
Ohio Farm Bureau State Trustee Karin Bright talked about the value proposition model of the Ohio Farm Bureau and what it looks like on the county level.
Organization Director Ashley Kasler recognized the county board of trustees with a gift of appreciation.
We concluded the night with the installation of the new Lawrence County Farm Bureau President Uriah Cade, and awarding the outgoing President Drew Schmidt a plaque of appreciation for his many years of dedicated service to the Lawrence County Farm Bureau Board of Trustees.
The mission of Ohio Farm Bureau is working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
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.
