Gallia AG Day

Gallia County Farm Bureau hosted the 23rd Annual Gallia County Ag Day at the Gallia County Fairgrounds May 6, 2026.

Each year we host Gallia County 4th grade students at the fairgrounds to teach them all about different types of agriculture. There were 328 students who rotated through 15 different stations throughout the day. Along with learning about agriculture, they also participated in a T-shirt design contest. The students were asked to draw what agriculture means to them. This year’s T-shirt contest winner was Molly W. from Washington Elementary! Each student was able to take home a free T-shirt with the winning design and sponsors on it along with a brochure about what Farm Bureau is, the events they were able to participate in for the day, and all of the various sponsors. 

We could not host this wonderful event each year if it was not for the Gallia County Fair Board for allowing us to use the grounds, our wonderful sponsors who believe in what we are doing, and our fantastic presenters that make the day a success!

Farm Bureau connections
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.

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.

10-year campaign for safer roads
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.

Farm Bureau involvement
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.
