This year’s Crawford, Marion, Morrow and Richland County Farm Bureau Summer Intern is Braden Montgomery. Braden is a current senior at Wilmington College majoring in agricultural education with a concentration in animal science. At Wilmington he is involved in Collegiate Farm Bureau, Aggies and Collegiate 4-H, Wilmington College Votes and the Wilmington College Poultry Club.
Braden is from Richland County where he graduated from Plymouth High School in 2024. During high school, he was heavily involved in the National FFA Organization, holding various leadership positions in the organization. At the fair he showed rabbits, market and dairy goats, and dairy beef feeders.
Some of his responsibilities as an intern this summer will include promoting membership, aiding in the coordination of events and helping to inform the public on agricultural-related topics.
“I am very excited about this internship and the opportunity to work for such an amazing organization! I look forward to broadening my knowledge of the Ohio Farm Bureau, while also planning various events for our community and our members,” Montgomery said.
Welcome, Braden!
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.
