On this week’s Our Ohio Weekly:

The coronavirus pandemic has put a strain on just about every business sector across the country. One of the biggest impacts has been on the restaurant industry. The restaurants that will survive most likely have had to do things much differently than their original business model would allow. Some restaurants even morphed into what are now known as grocerants. Learn details on this unique concept that is keeping some restaurants in business on this Our Ohio Weekly.

00:00 – Hear how some Ohio restaurants, like Frisch’s Big Boy, FUSIAN sushi and Stauf’s Coffee Roasters have revamped their menus to meet new demands of consumers by becoming grocerants.

16:50 – Arlan Suderman, chief commodities economist for the FCM Division of INTL FCStone Financial Inc. gives some market insights.

23:50 – Meet farmer and diesel mechanic Justina Riesch in this week’s To the Beat of Agriculture

32:20 – Chris Henney, CEO of the Ohio Agribusiness Association checks in with how his industry is handling COVID-19 challenges

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

Farm Bureau connections
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.

Giving farmers a voice
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.
