This year’s Crawford, Marion, Morrow and Richland County Farm Bureau summer intern is Sarah Hoak. Hoak is an upcoming junior at Ohio State University majoring in sustainable agriculture and minoring in agribusiness. On campus she is involved with Collegiate Farm Bureau, Student Council, Crops and Soils Club, Agricultural Systems Management Club, Agribusiness Club, the Student Farm, and Law and Society Scholars. Hoak is an active Farm Bureau member, especially in the Collegiate Farm Bureau and Young Ag Professionals groups, which is how she came across the summer internship opportunity. She was recently elected to serve as the president of Collegiate Farm Bureau at Ohio State for the 2024-2025 school year.
Hoak is originally from Richland County and is a 2023 graduate of Plymouth High School. During her high school career, she was heavily involved in FFA, 4-H, Student Council, golf and basketball. Throughout her years in FFA, she held various leadership positions in her chapter and showed rabbits, goats and broilers at the fair. She received her State FFA Degree in 2022 and will be receiving her American FFA Degree this fall. Her involvement in FFA is what kick-started her passion for agriculture, and she can’t wait to continue her career in the industry.
Some of her responsibilities as an intern this summer will include promoting membership, aiding in the coordination of events, and helping to inform the public on agricultural-related topics.
“Farm Bureau has helped fuel my passion for the agriculture industry, and I am excited to be a part of the organization from a different perspective. I can’t wait to meet all of the members and further the mission of the Farm Bureau this summer!” she said.
Welcome, Sarah!
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.
