The Athens-Meigs County Farm Bureau held Dinner on the Farm in 2024. With the funds raised from this event, they were able to donate welding equipment to Southern FFA and Federal Hocking FFA.
The Athens-Meigs Farm Bureau has hosted Dinner on the Farm in the fall for the last two years. The purpose behind this event is to raise money to give back to the youth within Athens and Meigs counties, whether that is with scholarships, items needed for FFA chapters, or other various youth projects.
With the funds raised from the dinners, they were able to donate welding safety equipment to two local FFA Chapters. Each Chapter received three new welding helmets, six new welding jackets, six new sets of welding gloves and four boxes of welding rods.
Southern FFA and Federal Hocking FFA have already begun to use the equipment! We are looking forward to all of their future projects.
We are currently starting to plan for our fall event. If you are interested in joining us for the event or interested in sponsorship opportunities for the Dinner on the Farm event, feel free to reach out at [email protected] or give us a call at 740-201-2739.
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.
