Nicole Cook

This year’s Crawford, Marion, Morrow and Richland County Farm Bureau summer intern is Nicole Cook. Nicole is an upcoming junior at The Ohio State University majoring in agribusiness and applied economics and minoring in animal sciences. On campus, she is involved with Agribusiness Club and Saddle and Sirloin Club. She recently took a trip to Texas with the Agribusiness Club where she visited the Texas Farm Bureau and became interested in interning here.

Nicole is originally from Richland County and is a 2021 graduate of Madison Comprehensive High School. During her high school career, she was heavily involved in 4-H. Throughout her years in 4-H, she held various leadership positions in her club. At the fair she showed dairy and beef feeder calves and steers, and market hogs. Nicole enjoyed her time in 4-H, but since the end of her showing career, she is eager to get involved in other activities within agriculture.

Some of her responsibilities as an intern this summer will include promoting membership, aiding in the coordination of events, and helping to inform the public on agricultural-related topics.

“I am very excited about this internship, the future of this organization, and getting to know all of the people involved. I’m looking forward to planning and executing events that advocate for agriculture and meeting the members of each county,” she said.

Welcome, Nicole!

Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

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.

10-year campaign for safer roads
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
