It’s membership season at Ohio Farm Bureau, and that means county Farm Bureaus and their volunteers will be engaging with prospective members throughout their community on the value of Farm Bureau.
While the 2021 campaign may look a little different compared to years past, counties are encouraged to get creative and energize their volunteers who serve as membership champions. The strong work of county volunteers will ensure membership and member engagement continues to increase across the state.
Thanks to the efforts of Ohio Farm Bureau volunteers and staff, the organization had an increase in its “active” membership for the 2020 campaign. Over half of the state’s county Farm Bureaus received the Milestone Award for achieving a gain in farmer and agribusiness members, and 18 volunteers won the Murray Lincoln Award for signing up at least 50 new members to Ohio Farm Bureau.
A successful membership campaign begins with members who have a passion for Farm Bureau and can channel that passion into a conversation. A positive experience with Ohio Farm Bureau can naturally generate an opportunity for engaged conversation with anyone, including emerging leaders, young agricultural professionals and students.
“Our members are passionate about agriculture and what Farm Bureau does on their behalf,” said OFBF Vice President of Membership Paul Lyons. “We would like to invite all our members to share their story of why they are a member, with a friend, coworker or family member and ask them to become a member of the
organization.”
For more information or to learn more about how to become involved in Farm Bureau and the campaign, contact your county 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.
