Scholarships

Madison County Farm Bureau congratulates the recipients of its 2022 scholarships: Cade Smith and Seth Neely.

Cade Smith is a sophomore at The Ohio State University studying animal sciences with a swine specialization. Growing up, Cade was very active through 4-H; FFA where he raised and showed poultry, hogs and alpacas; as well as volunteering throughout the community. Cade plans to pursue a career as an animal nutritionist. 

Seth Neely was homeschooled for the beginning of his education, and was lucky enough to have great educators who helped him grow into who he is today. With the help of the Madison County Farm Bureau, Seth will be able to pursue a degree at Cedarville University in history with an interest in politics, law and criminal justice for possible future careers.

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.

Farm Bureau connections
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.

Bringing the farm back to life
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.

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.
