I would like to extend an invitation to attend this year’s Darke County Farm Bureau Policy Development meeting, taking place on Tuesday June 16 at Romer’s Catering in Greenville.
We welcome you to join us at 5 p.m. for dinner and the official meeting at 5:30 p.m. There will be a short presentation from our Ohio Farm Bureau State Trustee Matt Aultman and a roundtable discussion focused on the key issues impacting agriculture in Darke County.
In the graphic above, we’ve included a short list of issues and topics that have been discussed at past policy meetings, as well as at the Ohio Farm Bureau annual meetings in Columbus. I know there are many more issues and concerns that affect the agricultural community within Darke County. Therefore, I am asking you to attend this meeting to give the Darke County Farm Bureau trustees a plan to help Darke County farmers, landowners, and agricultural retailers thrive and be able to pass the land and the ag business to the next generation.
Curtis Yount
Darke County Farm Bureau President
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.
