Day at Adams County Fair

On July 15, Adams County Farm Bureau hosted its annual Farm Bureau Day at the Adams County Fair. Activities included free health screenings for Farm Bureau members sponsored by Adams County Regional Medical Center, the antique tractor display, and a Farm Bureau Meet and Greet, where fairgoers could learn about the benefits of Farm Bureau membership and visit with local members.

Additionally, fun youth activities included watermelon eating, seed spitting, sack races, bubble blowing, hula hooping, limbo, and more! Our youth frog jumping content and pedal tractor pulls are two favorites year after year! Last but not least, we finished the day with an antique tractor parade and tractor games (have you ever heard of tractor basketball?).
New this year, Hayden Crum joined us as part of our Hi-Flying Soybeans program sponsored by the Ohio Soybean Council and Ohio State – Adams County 4-H. Hayden, a 4-H member and Ohio Valley Career and Technical Center FFA member, is an owner of Midwest Air, LLC and does custom application work using drone technology. After Hayden’s demo, young fairgoers learned more about ag careers that utilize drones and had the opportunity to try their hand at mapping out a route for a robotic “drone sprayer” to spray fields of soybeans in a simulated activity.
These activities are just a start to exploring what Farm Bureau does in our local community – fostering relationships + teaching our next generation of youth about agriculture. 
Farm Bureau connections
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.

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.

10-year campaign for safer roads
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.

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.
