Ohio Farm Bureau Young Ag Professionals program is seeking participants for its Discussion Meet, Excellence in Agriculture, and Outstanding Young Farmer contests.
Read MoreCamille Klick of Massillon recently graduated from Ohio Farm Bureau’s AgriPOWER Class XII. The elite leadership program was started in 2008 to help agricultural advocates gain influence over public policy issues that impact their businesses and communities.
Klick is a grain originator for Deerfield Ag Services, where she works with farmers to educate them on how to market their grain. She is a member of Stark County Farm Bureau, currently serving on the board of trustees as vice president, and is a 4-H advisor. Klick also attends and volunteers at New Pointe Community Church.
Over the course of a year, Class XII participants learned from experts on how to become better leaders and advocates for the agricultural industry, including spokesperson and media training, etiquette training, social networking and communications. They learned about public policy matters important to their local communities, as well as the state, nation and world. They visited Washington, D.C. where they learned about national and global issues, and they visited diverse agricultural operations in California so they could better understand the differences and similarities in agriculture from state to state.
Partnering with Ohio Farm Bureau on AgriPOWER Class XII were Farm Credit Mid-America, Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation, Ohio Corn and Wheat, Ohio Pork Council, Ohio Soybean Council, Stark County Farm Bureau, Deerfield Ag Services and Trans Ova Genetics.
