Marion Farm Bureau seeks input for 2026 policy
Be a part of the grassroots process.
Marion County Farm Bureau asks its community leaders and Farm Bureau members to provide input on the issues and policies that need attention in our community, because your experience and perspective are appreciated and valuable to the organization.
Marion County Farm Bureau’s Policy Development Meeting is set for June 18, at 9:30 a.m. at Hafer Farms’ shop, 9986 Wildcat Pike, La Rue.
The meeting will last no more than two hours and refreshments will be provided. Please make your reservation by June 6, by completing this form, emailing [email protected] or calling the office at 419-747-7488.
Farm Bureau policy resolutions are the backbone of the organization and provide the framework for the organization’s advocacy for family, community and food security. These policy positions guide efforts to address real community issues – issues such as regulations, funding public education and services, environmental protection, animal care, health care, and landowner’s rights. Not only are the policies used to develop programs, projects and advocacy at the state and federal level, but just as importantly, they are used to help guide the yearly plan of work for Marion County Farm Bureau volunteers.
The policy development committee will use this input to provide policy resolutions to the membership at the Marion County Farm Bureau Annual Meeting. Those approved may be considered at Ohio Farm Bureau and American Farm Bureau Annual Meetings. If you are unable to attend, you can still participate. Please complete the input survey by June 6. 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.
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.
