faberOur summer intern Olivia McDade has been serving as an Ohio Farm Bureau Ambassador during the 2017 Ohio State Fair. Ohio Farm Bureau has the Land and Living Exhibit daily at the Ohio State Fair in the Nationwide Donahey Ag & Hort Building. Tuesday of this week, she got to work with local legislators and attended the joint hearing of the Ohio Senate and House Agriculture Committees. They held the joint hearing inside of the Farm Bureau building at the State Fair. As part of her ambassador role, she facilitates tours of the Ag & Hort building with elected officials. Her first tour was with State Rep. Keith Faber, pictured here, and she will continue to give tours throughout the week. When she is not giving the tours she is working at one of the many educational stations inside the building, interacitng with the many fairgoers. Olivia is doing a great job and we are proud to have her representing Champaign, Clark, Darke, and Miami counties!

 

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

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.

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

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

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.
