This past weekend, a group of young agricultural professionals from various areas congregated in Columbu for the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation’s Winter Leadership Conference. Among the attendees were Dalton Black, Adams County board trustee; Adrianne Moran, Brown County board trustee; Liz Piscopink Meranda, Brown County Farm Bureau member; Josh and Sarah Ison, Clermont County board trustees. Highland County board of trustees was well-represented with Andrew Davis, Rachel Bohrer, and Blake Adams in attendance.
Reflecting on the experience, Adrianne Moran said, “The 2024 Winter Leadership Experience pushed us all outside of our fence rows, fostering connections with new young ag professionals. We engaged in a variety of hands-on workshops and savored new culinary experiences. The friendships formed during these events are bound to last a lifetime.”

As these enthusiastic individuals have returned to their respective communities, they carry with them not only newfound knowledge, but also a shared commitment to the future of agriculture.
