Bob and Polly Givens operate Givens Tree Farms and are long-time members of Jefferson County Farm Bureau.
Polly shared their personal account of why they belong to Jefferson County Farm Bureau.
“Farm Bureau has such strong advocacy for rural Ohio. For example, when environmental groups and the federal government wanted to severely restrict property owner’s water rights, Farm Bureau stepped up to spearhead the efforts to protect them. This is a battle across the United States – in some states you can’t even collect the water off your roof when it rains. Farmers developed best practices to maintain clean water and water-use rights for all Ohioans. Farm Bureau is a big part of that. We have many lakes and ponds, and our 490 acres contribute to the Yellow Creek Watershed. Protecting the watershed and our access to the water is every important to us.”
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.
