2023 Benefit in the Barn

Organizers for the Benefit in the Barn announced that the affair is returning for its 9th year Aug. 19 at Lee Farms in Union County. The signature late-summer occasion brings consumers and farmers together for food, entertainment, fun and a purpose. The main objectives of the Benefit in the Barn are to spotlight the hunger issues in our community, raise funding to help address the issue while also providing opportunities for dialogue between consumers and farmers.

The outdoor event will feature dinner catered by City Barbeque. Sponsored by Delaware and Union County Farm Bureau organizations, this year’s entertainment will spotlight Lee Gantt & Briar Williams.

Benefit in the Barn has raised over $440,000 to support hunger relief efforts in Delaware and Union Counties over the last eight years. All net proceeds this year will benefit the Delaware County Hunger Alliance and the Hope Center in Marysville.

Tickets are $50 each, Farm Bureau members can purchase their tickets for $40. Tickets are on sale NOW!

Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

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.

Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
