Hundreds of Ohio Farm Bureau members, including representatives from Guernsey County Farm Bureau, gathered in downtown Columbus to meet one-on-one with their state senators and representatives during Ohio Farm Bureau’s annual Ag Day at the Capital Feb. 18.
During the event, Ohio Farm Bureau unveiled its 2026 priority issues, including the preservation of Ohio’s farmland, smart and sound land use legislation, transparency and uniformity on the critical Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV) program, and further investment of Ohio’s food supply chain. Members also discussed a range of community-specific and agriculture-related issues with their representatives and leaders.
President Tiffany Smith and Public Policy Chair Robert Oakley were there on behalf of Guernsey County Farm Bureau and visited with Rep. Adam Holmes, Rep. Ty Moore, Sen. Brian Chavez and Sen. Al Landis during their time in Columbus.
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.
