Farm Bureau aims to reach fair guests with a positive message about agriculture in our community, state, and nation and to provide a memorable experience for fairgoers.

The popular Ag Across America Spinning Wheel will allow guests to learn more about agriculture around them. A large television screen will broadcast movies about today’s food and fiber. Partner organizations, such as Farm Credit Mid-America and Nationwide, will have displays. There will also be a Scavenger Hunt across the fairgrounds, so look get your questions sheet and look for the signs as you tour the 2017 Richland County Fair! Look for one of our county fair Ambassadors to claim your scavenger hunt prize, buy your annual meeting dinner tickets, and answer questions about the benefits of Farm Bureau membership.

We are looking for volunteers to help interact with visitors from 2 to 8 p.m. Sun., Aug. 6 through Sat., Aug. 12. If you can help us for an evening, please sign up here. If you can’t help the full time frame, but are still interested, please contact the office at [email protected] or call (800) 327-6055 by NOON Thurs. Aug. 3.

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
The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.

We really appreciate what Farm Bureau has done to get people interested in this line of work and workforce development and getting people interested in this industry.

Finding farm labor
We work terrifically with the Ashtabula County Farm Bureau, hosting at least one to two outreach town hall events every year to educate new farmers and existing farmers on traditional CAUV and woodlands.

CAUV: Past, present and future
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.
