Parliamentary Procedure is a competition in which FFA members perform a meeting demonstrating a parliamentary law in the setting of an FFA meeting. In the meeting, FFA members set up and execute a meeting overseen by a chairman with a secretary keeping minutes. The members must debate on motions while using rules of parliamentary procedure. These FFA members worked very hard and have practiced for months as a team preparing for the contest.
On Dec. 12, 2020, the Felicity Franklin FFA Novice Parliamentary Procedure Team competed in the state competition virtually from Felicity- Franklin High School. The team competed previously in sub-district and district contests, coming in first place at both. FFA members on the Novice Team were Addy Glassmeyer, Haley Broadwell, Gracie Davis, Faith Jennings, Stacie Arthur, Emerson Pinger, Savannah Metzger, Kaylee Jennings, Joanna Hamilton, Ayla Rutherford and Emma Brandenburg. The team also had two alternates: Eden Myers and Elizabeth Lindsey. The team competed against 10 other schools from across the state and earned first place.
Exactly one week later, on Dec. 19, 2020, the Felicity-Franklin FFA Advanced Parliamentary Procedure team competed virtually at Felicity High School. The team members were Luke Jennings, Carly McClure, Audrey Pinger, Emily Hardewig, Alisha Boone and Emma Robertson. The Advanced Parliamentary Procedure Team also earned first place among 10 teams.
The FFA members that competed in parliamentary procedure this year have worked very hard and overcome many challenges in order to become state champions in a very competitive Career Development Event. Both the Novice and Advanced Parliamentary Procedure teams will represent Ohio at the national level at the National FFA Convention in 2021.

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.
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
We really appreciate what Farm Bureau has done to get people interested in this line of work and workforce development and getting people interested in this industry.
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.
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.
