Adams County Ag Day at the CapitalThis year’s Ag Day at the Capital was a great success! Josh Ison took time from his career and farm to head to Columbus Feb. 15. Ag Day at the Capital is a signature event each year that brings Ohio Farm Bureau members into the active advocacy process. More than 300 volunteer members from across the state had the opportunity to share their personal issues and stories with legislators. 

A few agricultural priorities highlighted included energy, landowner rights, eminent domain, water quality and broadband. Local volunteers met with Sen. Shane Wilkin, State Rep. Adam Bird and State Rep. Bob Peterson. We appreciate them taking time from their busy schedules to meet with our volunteers from Adams, Brown, Clermont and Highland counties! 

The day concluded with a fireside chat that included Gov. Mike DeWine, the newly appointed director of Ohio Department of Agriculture, Brian Baldridge and Ohio Farm Bureau Executive Vice President Adam Sharp.

 

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.

Giving farmers a voice
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.
