Thank you to the Ohio State ATI Livestock Judging Team for coming down to evaluate the classes for the day and presenting the final class places! A big thank you goes out to those individuals who allowed us to use their livestock for the day: Joey and Beth Graham, Graham Blessing Farm; Jake Bodimer, Ohio Valley Showpigs; Kyle and Lane Deel, Ohio Valley Show Goats; and Jordan Johnson, Johnson Show Cattle. Also, thank you to those who helped set up pens and prepare everything for the contest as well as the Gallia County Fairboard for allowing us to use the fairgrounds for the contest!
We are so happy that we are able to host an event like this to help our youth prepare for future contests!
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.
