Representatives from the Jackson‑Vinton, Pike, and Scioto County Farm Bureaus recently attended the American Farm Bureau Annual Convention in California, joining county presidents and Murray Lincoln Award winners for a week of learning, networking, and exploration.
The group enjoyed visits to several iconic California destinations, including Laguna, Huntington, and Newport beaches, as well as Hollywood, Beverly Hills, downtown Los Angeles, Sunset Boulevard, and Rodeo Drive. Some attendees even took part in a memorable whale‑watching tour.
Beyond the sightseeing, the convention offered valuable opportunities to represent Ohio’s counties, engage with fellow Farm Bureau members from across the nation, and strengthen connections within the organization. The experience provided both professional enrichment and lasting memories for all who participated.
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.
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.
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.
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.
