The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has issued a Notice of Inquiry (NOI), to gather information, landowner concerns and community perspectives to explore whether, and if so how, it should revise its evaluation standards concerning natural gas pipeline permitting. Information submitted should focus on:

1.) How the need for a project is determined;

2.) Exercise of eminent domain and of landowner interests relating to a project, and

3.) Evaluation of the environmental impact of the proposed facility.

Additional information on the NOI may be found in the Federal Register.

The Wayne County Farm Bureau has formed a special committee to gather input and prepare formal comments in this FERC proceeding. Technical support on ensuring that Wayne County’s materials are submitted to FERC as required is being provided by Ohio Farm Bureau.

The county Farm Bureau is gathering member comments to be included in its submission. All interested members wanting to provide input are asked to email Lindsay Shoup at [email protected] on or before Friday, June 15.

 

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.

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.

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.
