Crawford County Policy Development Lunch

Crawford County Farm Bureau asks its community leaders and Farm Bureau members to provide input on the issues and policies you think need attention in our community, because your experience and perspective is appreciated and valuable to the organization.

The Crawford County Farm Bureau Policy Development Lunch is set for June 27, at 11:30 a.m. at the Lutz Family Farm, 4050 Crestline Rd., Bucyrus. A boxed lunch will be provided. In order to get an accurate count of guests, please make your reservation by June 18. Click here, email [email protected] or call the office at 419-747-7488.

The policies of Farm Bureau are the backbone of the organization. They provide the framework through which we advocate for family, community and food security. They help guide efforts to address real community issues – issues such as regulations, funding public education and services, environmental protection, animal care, health care, landowner’s rights, and community planning. 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 Crawford County Farm Bureau volunteers.

The Farm Bureau Policy Development Committee will use this input to 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.

If you are unable to attend, you can still participate. Please complete the input survey by June 18. If you have questions email [email protected] or call the office at 419- 747-7488.

My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.

We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.

Bringing the farm back to life
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.

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.

Giving farmers a voice
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.

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.
