At this year’s Ohio State Fair, Ohio Farm Bureau will be running the Little Farmers Exhibit! Little Farmers is designed to help teach children, particularly those ages 3-10, about various sectors of agriculture. Through hands-on and engaging activities, kids will learn about both animal and crop agriculture as they travel from station to station. Along the way, they will collect items to “sell” at the farmers market station, which is the final stop where they will receive a prize.
Through a fun and engaging learning experience, fairgoers will be able to learn more about animal agriculture with mock animals including sheep, chickens, swine, dairy cattle, and beef cattle. At these separate stations, children will learn about the array of products these animals produce and how farmers care for their livestock. Additionally, participants will visit a station modeled after a grain bin to learn about growing some of Ohio’s top commodities, such as grains, as well as a garden where they will have the opportunity to plant a seed! The goal of this exhibit is to show those who visit a little about where their food and fiber comes from.
Located south of the Taft Coliseum in the Central Park of the fairgrounds, Little Farmers will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., weather permitting, and is included with the price of admission to the fair. We hope to see you at the Ohio State Fair from July 23 to Aug. 3!

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.
