During the county annual meeting this past September, Fairfield County Farm Bureau members changed the county code to decrease the number of board trustee members from 15 to 12. There are still two trustee seats that remain unfilled; one representing District 4, which includes Greenfield and Hocking Townships, and one at-large seat. Fairfield County Farm Bureau normally meets on the last Wednesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. in Ricketts Hall on the Fairfield County Fairgrounds in Lancaster. If you are interested in serving on the board of trustees, please contact the county Farm Bureau office at 740-474-6284.

During their annual reorganization meeting in November, the Fairfield County Farm Bureau board of trustees elected members to serve as board officers. The newly elected officers for 2023 are

Vice President – Rich Lamp, of Clearcreek Township

Treasurer – Trish Preston, of Violet Township, and 

Secretary – Derek Burns, of Liberty Township 

The president’s office is voted on in the spring of each year with the president-elect taking over the duties at the county’s annual meeting in the fall. Currently, Lynne Schultz of Rushcreek Township serves as the county Farm Bureau president.

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.
