2024 Western Ohio Ag in the Classroom Conference

Mercer County Farm Bureau, Cooper Farms, and MVP Dairy are excited to host the Western Ohio Ag in the Classroom Conference on June 11 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the MVP Dairy Learning Center, located at 7124 US Rt. 33, Celina.

The conference is an opportunity for any K-4 teacher to learn more about integrating agriculture content into their classrooms and hear from Ohio’s agricultural experts, explore interactive activities, and take home resources to incorporate agriculture into the curriculum. We are happy to provide CEUs to participants, and the conference is free to the first 50 who apply, made possible by our generous supporters.

Below is the agenda, and a link to register. If you have additional question, please contact the Farm Bureau office at 877-775-7642 or email [email protected].

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.

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.

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.
