Athens-Meigs County Farm Bureau hosts 2nd Annual Dinner on the Farm

Athens-Meigs County Farm Bureau hosted the 2nd Annual Dinner on the Farm event Sept. 14, 2024 at Porter’s Pumpkins and Jada’s Maze in Pomeroy. 

The Dinner on the Farm event helps to raise money for the Athens-Meigs County Farm Bureau Youth in Agriculture Development Fund. The fund was established to help the board in awarding more scholarships or helping out local FFA chapters with different needs. 

On the beautiful night of Sept. 14, we had a wonderful meal prepared by Chef Austin Cole of Culinary Art Co. Music was played by Cole Gannon. The Federal Hocking FFA Chapter helped in serving the dinner. A silent auction was held during the duration of the event to help raise additional funds. 

Thank you to our various sponsors and donors who helped make the night a success!

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.

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.
