Shelby County Farm Bureau is working with the Amos Memorial Library for a “Pajama Party for Barn at Night” book reading on March 24 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Meet author Michelle Houts and stay for her reading of this newly released book. Don’t forget to take part in the snacks, kids’ crafts and other activities about agriculture! We also will have books on sale for purchase.
Barn at Night is a great way to learn more about the magic and adventures that happen on farms, even at night! The book follows a father and a daughter as they care for farm animals in two visits to the barn on a working farm. The book features cows, barn cats, horses, and other farm animal friends and their babies’ names, with fun vocabulary building for young readers – and it ends with the beautiful surprise arrival of a new foal. Illustrated by Jen Betton in glowing watercolors, “Barn at Night” makes a wonderful bedtime story that is great to share as a family.
The book is authored by Celina resident Michelle Houts who has authored 12 books. We hope you will join us! Please call our office at 877-775-7642 to learn more.
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio 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.
