Lawrence County holds Annual Meeting 2025

Lawrence County Farm Bureau held its 42nd annual meeting Sept. 9 at Symmes Valley High School cafeteria. 

Nineteen members and guests attended the meeting where action was taken on the organization’s policy priorities, elections were held, and special achievements were recognized.

Re-elected to the county board of trustees were Uriah Cade, Morgan Klaiber and Jill McCleese.  Elected to serve as delegates to the 2026 OFBF state annual meeting were Uriah Cade, Darrell Humphreys and Jill McCleese. 

Lawrence County Farm Bureau President Uriah Cade discussed different activities that the county Farm Bureau had taken part in. From showing support at the county fair with hosting the Pee Wee hands-on livestock clinic and the scavenger hunt, to hosting the Annual Farm to Fork dinner and annual Ring on the River open beef show within the last year.

Ohio Farm Bureau State Trustee Gary Truance talked about Farm Bureau Forward and Ohio Farm Bureau’s accomplishments over the last year.  

Organization Director Ashley Kasler, recognized the county board of trustees with a small gift of appreciation.

To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.

Farm Bureau connections
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.

Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Bringing the farm back to life
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.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.

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.
