2024 Union County Farm Bureau scholarship recipients

Congratulations to the following students who are recipients of scholarships from Union County Farm Bureau in 2024.

Libby Ramge, a valedictorian at Marysville High School and former Marysville FFA president, is involved in 4-H, National Honor Society, and volunteers at Memorial Hospital. She will study Sustainable Agriculture at The Ohio State University.

Rylan Keever, a Union County native, developed a strong work ethic and community appreciation growing up on a family farm. Involved in various activities at North Union High School, including FFA, Student Council, and sports, he is now pursuing a major in Construction Management at The Ohio State University.

Aiden Grome, born and raised in Marysville, developed a passion for running cross country and track. A recent graduate of Marysville Early College High School, he has plans to study electrical engineering at the University of Dayton.

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
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

Finding farm labor
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.

CAUV: Past, present and future
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
