It was a pleasure to attend the Jackson High School FFA Awards Banquet and help celebrate the hard work, leadership, and accomplishments of these outstanding students. The evening highlighted the dedication of Jackson FFA members and the strong support from advisors, families and the community.
A special congratulations goes to Organization Director Kim Harless, who is being recognized with a State FFA Degree Award from Ohio FFA—a prestigious honor that reflects years of commitment, achievement, and service in agricultural education. Congratulations to all who were recognized, and best wishes to Jackson FFA as they continue to grow and succeed!
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.
