Meet Hamilton County Farm Bureau Trustee Jessica Conrad

Jessica Conrad recently became a Farm Bureau member last year, but that did not stop her from joining the board. This year, she was elected as the Vice President of Hamilton County Farm Bureau. She felt the need to become a member because of her constant involvement within agriculture. Jessica grew up with horses and was involved in 4-H and FFA. These organizations allowed her to pursue her interest in agriculture. Jessica also felt it would be good to join the board because a friend recommended it to her due to her agricultural interests. During her short time as a member, her favorite aspect of Farm Bureau, so far, is the Washington, D.C. trip she attended in September 2017. Jessica is currently working at Green Acres and works with livestock. She studied agriculture business at Wilmington College and graduated in 2016. Throughout college, Jessica was exceedingly active in participating in agricultural-related organizations, such as Wilmington Aggies and Collegiate 4-H. Overall, Jessica strives to maintain her involvement in agriculture because it is tremendously important to her.

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

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.
