Each year, The Telegram newspaper helps shine a spotlight on the Jackson-Vinton Farm Bureau’s Hog Wild Contest by sponsoring a special article called the Piggy Pages. This fun feature includes photos of all 40 decorated hogs, along with the names of the businesses and their uniquely named pigs.

The Hog Wild Contest is more than just fun—it’s a scholarship fundraiser supporting local students. Participating businesses purchase a ceramic piggy bank, decorate it, and collect funds in hopes of taking home one of the contest titles. While everyone is vying for the coveted “Top Hog” award, other honors like Most Creative/Artistic, Most Facebook Likes, and People’s Choice add even more excitement.

We are so grateful to all of the businesses that joined in this year’s contest and made it such a success. A very special thank you goes out to The Telegram News for sponsoring the Piggy Pages and helping us share this community tradition with readers across the area.

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.

Giving farmers a voice
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.

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.

Select Partner Program
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.

Advocacy
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
