What an incredible turnout for our first-ever Crawford County Farm Bureau Celebrity Showmanship competition! Our local school celebrities stepped into the ring to test their livestock handling skills with dairy feeders, sheep, chickens, and rabbits, demonstrating impressive patience, technique and sportsmanship.
A major congratulations to Wynford’s Team Royals, Tessa Martin and Ryan Lutz, who swept the competition by winning both the overall Celebrity Showmanship title and the People’s Choice Award! Rounding out the rest of the standings were Team Eagles (Janet Parsons and Josh Schieber) in second place, Team Bucks (Megan Hiler and Molly Coleman) in third, Team Bulldogs (Jared Sowash and Mandi Sowash) in fourth, Team Tigers (Calli Bauer and Jessica Cooper) in fifth, and Team Redmen (Jon Butchko and Jenn Kohler) taking sixth.
Thank you to all of our school districts for packing the stands, Crawford County Cattleman’s Association for donating meals to our contestants, Chad Gebhardt for announcing the show, as well as the local youth exhibitors who generously loaned their livestock and coached our celebrities to make this inaugural event such a memorable success.
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.
