Ohio Farm Bureau has joined several Ohio agricultural partners in a letter supporting U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown to serve as chair of the House Agriculture Committee in the 120th Congress.
Brown, who currently serves as vice ranking member of the committee, has built a strong working relationship with the Ohio agriculture community. She has supported bipartisan efforts to expand year-round E15 and was recognized as a Friend of Agriculture by Ohio Farm Bureau AGGPAC during the 2026 election.
“Congresswoman Brown has been a good friend to Ohio agriculture, and we appreciate her willingness to listen to our farm families and work across party lines on issues that matter to our industry,” said Ohio Farm Bureau President Bill Patterson. “As farmers continue to face rising costs and uncertainty, we need leaders who understand the challenges facing agriculture and are focused on long-term solutions. Congresswoman Brown has long demonstrated her commitment to bringing every perspective to the table, and we believe she would be a strong voice for our farmers as chair of the House Agriculture Committee.”
Ohio Farm Bureau looks forward to continuing its work with members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to advance policies that support farm families and strengthen the future of Ohio agriculture.

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.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
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.
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.
