F&M Bank has steadily grown since 1923, enabling it to remain today as one of the last locally owned and independent banks in the area. The growth and stability was the result of the local management’s ability to recognize and meet the financial needs of the community.
It is still a locally owned and independent community bank serving the general Southwest Dayton area surrounding the Miamisburg, Germantown, West Carrollton and New Lebanon communities. The bank’s management is made up of professionals who share the same vested interest in the growth and well-being of the community. The bank invests deposits back into the local community in the form of loans to individuals for homes, autos, education and for other purposes to raise their standards of living; to businesses to buy new equipment or construct building additions resulting in new jobs for the community; and to local governmental bodies to provide better public services for its residents.
Bank services have changed dramatically over the past 90 plus years. Daily check writing has been replaced by ATMs and debit cards. The 24-hour Automated Service Line facilitates a customer’s ability to access his or her account information at the touch of a button. Credit cards and overdraft lines of credit have replaced the small consumer loan. But just because Farmers & Merchants is a community bank doesn’t mean that it can’t offer great features. Banking with Farmers & Merchants gives you access to over 7,500 ATMs across the nation, the convenience to bank right from your computer or smartphone, and the ability to make a mobile deposit through our app.

What is a Farm Bureau Group Membership?
A Farm Bureau group membership will help share the value of a strong food, farming and business environment for a company and the community. The membership will help create a relationship with employees that shows appreciation for their service, encourages community involvement and helps build affinity within the company.
In addition to supporting an organization that supports issues that matter to you, by investing in a group membership with Ohio Farm Bureau (a minimum of five individual memberships at $72/member annually), the selected employees or clients gain access to valuable member benefits and discounts, and your company gains access to several premier benefits available only through a group membership, which include marketing and promotion opportunities locally, regionally and statewide.
For more information on group memberships, please email [email protected].
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.
