Chespeake Elementary

Congratulations to Becky McClelland with Chesapeake Elementary for being named as the recipient of a $250 scholarship toward her “From Seed to Salad” project!

Lawrence County Farm Bureau held its first Farm to Fork event Aug. 31, 2023. The Farm to Fork Event showcases local foods and agricultural commodities through a dinner on the farm. This event is a ticketed event, raising funds to promote agricultural literacy in our community schools. The funds raised through this event provided the opportunity for McClelland’s students to grow tower gardens and incorporate fruit plants. This school year her students have been growing all kinds of plants! With this project the students have learned about plant management, measuring, cleaning and cutting of the items they have grown. The kids have done a fantastic job this year and we can’t wait to see what Mrs. McClelland is up to next! Along with providing the teacher scholarship, Farm Bureau was also able to place the American Farm Bureau Foundation Book of the Year, along with the curriculum, in the hands of each elementary school in the county!

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.

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.

Strong communities
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.

CAUV: Past, present and future
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.

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.
