The 2026 Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation Golf Invitational celebrated another record-breaking year, raising over $118,000 to advance the foundation’s work. These funds will help provide scholarships, expand educational programs and strengthen initiatives that connect students and young professionals to meaningful careers in agriculture
With a focus on building pathways for students to explore careers in agriculture, Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation is working to ensure that Ohio’s agricultural community is valued, fueled by new talent and strengthened through innovation. Through the organization’s many programs and investments, the foundation is building a pipeline to ensure the next generation has the skills and passion to move agriculture forward and keep Ohio’s communities strong, resilient and thriving.
“We are extremely grateful to the sponsors, golfers and supporters whose generosity made this year’s golf invitational such an incredible success,” said Doug Miller, president of the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation Board of Directors. “Raising over $118,000 is a powerful investment in the future of Ohio agriculture and a reflection of the strong community of people who believe in supporting the next generation. Because of this support, the foundation can continue opening doors for young people through scholarships, grants and innovative programs that help them discover careers in agriculture, build valuable skills and find their place in our industry. Every dollar raised helps strengthen the future of Ohio agriculture by equipping the next generation of leaders, innovators and advocates to carry it forward.”
The event was held June 22 at Pinnacle Golf Club in Grove City and hosted 170 golfers. The Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation offers a special thank you to the event sponsors, especially Nationwide, who served as the Heritage Partner for the event. This successful day would not have been possible without the generous support of sponsors and participants.
The Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation, a 501(c) (3) charitable, nonprofit organization, understands the need to inspire innovation and cultivate investment in Ohio’s farm and food community. Learn more by visiting ofbf.org/foundation.

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.
