Brooke Wiseman of New Lexington has been named organization director for Ohio Farm Bureau and will serve members in Guernsey, Morgan, Muskingum and Perry counties. In her role, she will work with the county Farm Bureaus to address issues important to members and their communities.
Wiseman grew up on her family’s hobby swine farm, Wiseman Family Durocs, in Perry County. She spent 13 years in 4-H, where raising and showing pigs with family and friends became a passion, and she was a member of the New Lexington FFA chapter for four years.
She earned two associate’s degrees: one in agribusiness and another in accounting and financial services from the Ohio State Agricultural Technical Institute and Hocking Technical College, respectively, and most recently received her bachelor’s degree in accounting from Franklin University.

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.
