Dairy Cattle

Erica DavisErica Davis was recently elected onto the Fayette County Farm Bureau board during the annual meeting. Erica is from Washington Court House and has grown up and worked in the dairy industry her entire life. She currently works at ST Ohio Heifer Center in South Charleston, Ohio. There she registers all the dairy females in their breed associations and coordinates genomic/parentage samples for the 5,000 head on the farm. She also works with the mature cows in the milking robot facility. Erica serves on various state dairy boards and is secretary for the Ohio Holstein Association and Ohio Milking Shorthorn Society. She is part of the planning committee for Spring Dairy Expo and is a dairy department member for Ohio State Fair. She also works for Cowbuyer.com as a ring man for auctions, streaming the sale online and taking bids. Erica would like to serve as a board member for the Fayette County Farm Bureau to assist in the continuation of agriculture education within the community and gain more experience in the legislative matters that affect our area.

Farm Bureau connections
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.

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.

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.
