Ashtabula Ag Day, sponsored by Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, Ashtabula County OSU Extension, and Ashtabula SWCD is the county’s youth agricultural education event where first graders come to the Ashtabula County Fairgrounds to experience agriculture through hands-on and interactive stations. Activities range from butter making, learning about soil, and planting tomatoes, to learning more about farm animals and learning about the origins of the food and fiber people need.
We can’t wait to see our 1000+ first graders in Ashtabula County attending Ag Day 2026 on Friday, May 8, 2026.
Volunteers are the key to success
We are looking for volunteers with a passion for agriculture and our youth to help us. This event has an annual attendance of nearly 1,000 first graders, and 250+ volunteers are needed. Please register as soon as possible. This is a truly amazing and impactful experience and we would love to have you! The Ag Day program May 8, 2026 is NOT open to the public. In order to volunteer, you MUST be registered.
If you can’t spare your time, but would like to help us financially support the program, you can donate today.
For more information contact the Farm Bureau office at 440.426.2195 or Amanda Barnum at 440.576.9008.
OFBF Mission: Working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities.
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.
