Ohio Farm Bureau is working for you and your family. This blog is all about the value of membership with the Ohio Farm Bureau.
Other than joining an organization with grassroots efforts to change and create policy and make way for the next generation of agriculturalists, here are some reasons why you should join the Ohio Farm Bureau.
If you have employees or own a business, Farm Bureau:
- Protected the agricultural sales tax exemption
- Fought for and secured farmer access to Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program
If you care about 4-H and FFA, Farm Bureau:
- Advocated for and preserved funding for local services including OSU Extension, Soil and Water, OARDC, OSU Wooster-ATI, high school ag education career tech and FFA.
- Supported 4-H Foundation and Youth Reserve Program resulting in millions of dollars for scholarships to 4-H youth
If you care about young farmers, youth engagement, and investing in the future agricultural workforce, Farm Bureau:
- Created legislation for the Beginning Farmer Tax credit proposal that passed the Ohio House
- Supports collegiate Farm Bureau programs at The Ohio State University and Wilmington College
If you grow crops, Farm Bureau:
- Successfully fought Ohio EPA attempts to regulate commercial fertilizer as a pollutant
- Preserved use of critical crop protection products
If you care about farm stress, Farm Bureau:
- Created the Farm Stress Collaborative that has brought together ag and mental health experts for first time to create and provide resources
If you care about how farmers are portrayed in the media, Farm Bureau:
- Works with media nearly every day to help them better understand agriculture
If you care about ag groups working together for you, Farm Bureau:
- Builds long term, strong relationships with Ohio policymakers which allows access and a voice for our members.
These are just a few of the many reasons why you should join the Ohio Farm Bureau. Come and join us as we are so passionate about advocating for the agriculture community and positive change.

The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
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.
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.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
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.
