2024 Morrow County Policy Development Breakfast

Please join us for breakfast and a policy development meeting at 7 a.m. Wednesday, March 27, at Ag Credit, in the Community Room, located at 5362 US 42, Mount Gilead.

Your experience and perspective are appreciated and valuable to the organization. Please be prepared to share concerns and issues that impact you and how Farm Bureau can work on them through local, state or national policies.

The policies of the Farm Bureau are the backbone of the organization. These policies are used to develop programs, projects and advocacy at the state and federal level, but just as importantly, are used to help guide the yearly plan of work for Morrow County Farm Bureau volunteers. They provide the framework through which we advocate for family, community and food security. They help guide efforts to address real community issues such as regulations, funding public education and services, environmental protection, animal care, health care, landowner’s rights and community planning.

In order to get an accurate count of guests, please make your reservation by March 20, by clicking here, emailing [email protected] or calling the office at 419-747-7488.

If you are unable to attend but have suggestions, please submit them here or by emailing [email protected]. Following this input session, the Farm Bureau policy development committee will provide policy resolutions to the membership at our annual meeting. Those approved will go on to the Ohio Farm Bureau, and they may move on to the American Farm Bureau Federation.

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.

Bringing the farm back to life
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.

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.
