Lawrence County Farm Bureau hosted a Livestock Scavenger Hunt and Pee Wee Show Clinics at the 2024 Lawrence County Fair.
On Monday during the fair, board members came together to host the first annual Livestock Scavenger Hunt. Kids were given a list of various livestock questions. The answers were found throughout the various livestock barns. Kids teamed up and went off looking for answers. There were 28 kids that took part in the activity!
On Wednesday and Thursday of the fair, board members hosted the 2nd annual Pee Wee Livestock Clinic. Wednesday, kids were able to learn about a feeder calf, walk a goat, walk a sheep and walk a pig. Thursday, the kids were able to learn about as well as work with chickens and rabbits. The goal of these activities is to allow the kids to have hands-on experiences with the animals, but to also try and get an idea of what animal they may want to take in 4-H!
The mission of Ohio Farm Bureau is working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities.
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.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
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.
