What are the key international issues with grain marketing in 2024? Do renewable energy needs ask too much of rural Americans?

The Ohio State University Department of Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics is hosting its annual Spring Monthly Webinar Series, focusing on grain marketing, renewable energy, the agricultural labor supply and more.

Uncertainty and rising prices have become fixtures in financial and economic decision-making of late. This uncertainty and unrest have far-reaching impacts on not just wallets but also on the very environment we live in.

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 is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

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.
