Athens-Meigs County Farm Bureau hosted the 2nd annual ‘Spring Member Only Soil Testing’ event March 24 -28, in conjunction with the Athens SWCD office and the Meigs SWCD office.
Members enjoy this localized member benefit, so the Athens-Meigs Farm Bureau board decided to team up with the Athens and Meigs SWCD offices to host the opportunity in the spring and again in the fall. Members had the opportunity to collect two soil samples and deliver them to their county SWCD office between March 24-28 during normal business hours. Farm Bureau memberships were checked to be current and the samples were recorded by the SWCD. At the end of the week, the samples were sent off to the lab. Once the results are completed, the members will receive their information via email or mail. These results help them to determine what may or may not need to added on their land this year before planting.
This spring, 37 different soil samples were brought in from Meigs County and 25 different soil samples in Athens County.
This is a project that the Athens-Meigs County Farm Bureau feels adds value to our membership within the county.

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.
