Hocking County Ag Days

Hocking County Ag Days is an annual family-friendly event that celebrates agriculture and community. Ag Days will take place May 15-16, 2021 at the Hocking County Fairgrounds in Logan. Attendees will experience agriculture, history and the environment through interactive demonstrations, livestock display, antique tractor show, flea market, vendors, music, food and fun.

A pancake and sausage breakfast starts at 8 a.m. on Saturday, May 15. Ag Days festivities begin at 9 a.m. when the Boy Scouts perform the opening ceremony. At 9:30 the Hocking County Farm Bureau will recognize military service members and veterans during a special observance. The Farm Bureau invites all former and current military members to attend and enjoy a free breakfast before or after the ceremony.

At 10 a.m. a tractor benefit drive starts at the fairgrounds and proceeds through downtown Logan. Antique tractors, hit n’ miss engines and equipment will be on display throughout the weekend.

“Ag Days has something for everyone to enjoy,” said Ivory Harlow, Hocking County Farm Bureau organization director. Kids can participate in a tractor pull, scavenger hunt and playful activities in the children’s area. Adults will enjoy live Bluegrass and Gospel music and education sessions with conservation and equipment experts. There will be a flea market and vendor’s area with food and goods for sale.”

“Ag Days brings together the community and connects us in a meaningful way. Local businesses sponsor the event, advertise in the Ag Days book and donate funds. Hocking County organizations provide education and activities. Volunteers put in long hours of hard work. Ag Days is special because the community comes together to make it happen,” said Betty Shaw, chair of the Ag Days Committee. Community support allows Hocking County Farm Bureau to offer the event free to the public, so that all families are able to take part.

Giving farmers a voice
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.

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.

Select Partner Program
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.

Advocacy
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.
