Athens-Meigs County Farm Bureau awards scholarships

Congratulations to the scholarship winners for Athens-Meigs County Farm Bureau! Each student received a $250 scholarship to the college of their choice for the 2025-2026 school year.

We had the opportunity to select one scholarship recipient from Athens County and one from Meigs County. This year we would like to congratulate the Athens-Meigs Farm Bureau Scholarship recipients, Abigail Sanders from Athens County, and Layna Barnhart from Meigs County!

Sanders is a 2025 graduate of Alexander High School. She plans to attend Ohio University this fall to major in nursing. 

Barnhart is a 2025 graduate of Eastern High School. She plans to attend Morehead State University to major in veterinary technology. 

Help us to congratulate these two ladies and wish them the best of luck this fall!

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.

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.

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.

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.
