There is nothing quite like watching a classroom of third graders realize that the butter they eat at breakfast doesn’t just appear on grocery store shelves; it starts on a farm.
Recently, students at Westview Elementary swapped their pencils for jars to dive into a hands-on lesson about agriculture. Moving beyond the basics, these third graders explored the science and hard work behind dairy farming, tracking the journey of milk from the pasture to our dinner tables.
Of course, no science experiment is complete without testing the results. Once the heavy shaking and churning were done, the students spread their fresh, homemade butter onto crackers for a quick taste test. The final verdict? Absolutely delicious!
By connecting a real-world agriculture lesson with a tasty reward, these students walked away with a whole new appreciation for the farming community and the food on their plates.
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.
