WELLINGTON — Lorain County Auditor Craig Snodgrass and a group of representatives from his office announced some major changes and held an open dialogue with many of Lorain County’s farmers during a joint meeting with the Lorain County Farm Bureau.

More than 50 farmers and representatives from the Farm Bureau arrived at a meeting Tuesday night prepared to argue that the auditor had been improperly applying Ohio’s Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV) program.

But the auditor’s office beat them to the punch, when Marty Rowe, chief deputy of real estate, said during a presentation that the county would change how it draws CAUV maps.

“When I started digging into land uses I said, let’s look at land use and everything else,” Rowe said. “Because we saw a lot of things with the way we administered CAUV that probably could use a little work.”

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.

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.
