I met Adam Sharp, Executive Vice President of the OFBF. Mr. Sharp gave me a history lesson on how the Ohio Farm Bureau organized in 1919 as a membership organization of farmers and rural residents dedicated to improving their community and strengthening farming in Ohio. This year the @OhioFarmBureau celebrates its 100th birthday! . .

John Marihugh is the OFBF Director of Member Services. He coordinates member benefit programs like @JohnDeere that saves @OhioFarmBureau members up to $3,700 with John Deere Rewards. My favorite OFB benefits are discount tickets at Cedar Point and King’s Island. . .

I learned @Nationwide shares roots with the @OhioFarmBureau Federation. The Farm Bureau launched the mutual insurance company in 1926 to give members access to affordable insurance premiums for its rural members. In 1955, the insurance company separated from Ohio Farm Bureau and changed its name to Nationwide. Today, Nationwide is the No. 1 insurer of farms and ranches in the United States! . .

The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

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.

Bringing the farm back to life
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
