Students take part in 2026 Jackson-Vinton Farm Bureau Ag Experience Day

Jackson-Vinton Farm Bureau recently hosted an Ag Experience Day in partnership with the OARDC Research Farm and Jackson County OSU Extension. The event welcomed all second graders from both Jackson and Vinton counties and gave them the chance to take part in hands-on, educational activities that highlighted different areas of agriculture.

We’d like to thank the Jackson, Wellston, and Oak Hill FFA chapters for putting together engaging presentations for the students. We also appreciate G&J Pepsi for donating beverages and Domino’s Pizza of Jackson for providing lunch for our FFA students. A special thank you to Congressman Dave Taylor for supplying certificates for all of our Design-a-T-Shirt winners!

We truly appreciate all of the presenters, schools, and supporters who helped make the day a success.

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.

Bringing the farm back to life
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.

Giving farmers a voice
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.
