2025 Foundation Golf Outing

The 2025 Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation Golf Invitational raised $115,000 for foundation scholarships, grants and programs that help enhance agricultural communities and support careers in agriculture, setting an all-time record for the annual event.

Participation in the foundation’s annual golf invitational supports the future of Ohio agriculture. The Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation believes that for agriculture to continue to grow and thrive, it must be cultivated. Through its work, the foundation is building a steady flow of young people with the knowledge, training and skills to enhance the industry.

“We are incredibly grateful to our generous sponsors and participants whose unwavering support helped us raise a record-breaking $115,000,” said Nathan Brown, president of the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation Board of Directors and District 20 Trustee for Ohio Farm Bureau. “This milestone is more than just a number; it represents real opportunities for the next generation of farmers and agricultural leaders. With these funds, we can continue to open doors for young people, showing them the value and vitality of careers in agriculture. Through scholarships, innovative programming, and grants, we’re cultivating a passionate, skilled workforce ready to carry Ohio’s agricultural legacy into the future.”

The event was held June 23 at Scioto Reserve Country Club in Powell and hosted 160 golfers. The Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation offers a special thank you to the event sponsors, especially Nationwide, who served as the Heritage Partner for the event. This successful day would not have been possible without the generous support of sponsors and participants.

The Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation, a 501(c) (3) charitable, nonprofit organization, understands the need to inspire innovation and cultivate investment in Ohio’s farm and food community. Learn more by visiting ofbf.org/foundation.

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.

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.
