What is Ohio Farm Bureau

Doug WicklineEvery year, Greene County Farm Bureau honors a member who has gone above and beyond to serve the county Farm Bureau as well as the agricultural community. We recognize these individuals at the county annual meeting, and they are recognized in a slide show at the Ohio Farm Bureau annual meeting. This year’s winner is Doug Wickline.

Wickline is a graduate of Xenia High School and The Ohio State University where he majored in ag economics. After graduation, he worked in sales for Studebaker Nursery and returned to to the family garden center, floral shop and landscape operation. 25 years later he became an agriscience instructor and FFA advisor at the Greene County Career Center and Greeneview High School. Doug and his wife, Julie, have three kids: Lauren, Brant and Wesley. They recently became grandparents.

“I really enjoy working with Farm Bureau from the passionate staff, trustees and members who value the importance of agriculture,” he said.

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.

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.
