Lucy Pullins Green of rural Bowling Green recently graduated from Ohio Farm Bureau’s AgriPOWER Class XV. The elite leadership program was started in 2008 to help agricultural advocates gain influence over public policy issues that impact their businesses and communities.

Pullins Green is a risk management associate at StoneX Group Inc., where she helps grain farmers, livestock producers, and elevators manage risk within the commodities futures markets, with a primary focus on corn, soybeans and wheat. Her responsibilities include providing advice on basis and spreads and crafting market commentary, which is distributed to clients across Ohio, Michigan and Canada.

Over the course of a year, Class XV participants learned from experts on how to become better leaders and advocates for the agricultural industry, including spokesperson and media training, social networking and communications. They learned about public policy matters important to their local communities, as well as the state, nation and world. The group visited Washington, D.C., where they learned about national and global issues, and they visited diverse agricultural operations in California to better understand the differences and similarities in agriculture from state to state. 

Partnering with Ohio Farm Bureau on AgriPOWER Class XV are the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation, Ohio Soybean Council, Certified Angus Beef, The Chef’s Garden, Farm Credit Mid-America, Healthy Harvest Organics, Hummel Group Insurance, Lake County Farm Bureau, Lorain County Farm Bureau, Ohio Forestry Association, Anthony Savage, StoneX Group Inc., Truckor Family Farm, Wood County Farm Bureau, and Wright & Moore.
