As the Voice of Agriculture, Farm Bureau is a passionate advocate for good governmental policy and securing a healthy business climate for our members to prosper. One of the biggest benefits of Farm Bureau membership is having a say in issues that are impacting Ohio’s producers across the state.
Addressing issues impacting Ohio agriculture

The needs of agribusiness are continually evolving, and Farm Bureau is committed to preserving the future of farming for the next generation of food, fiber, and fuel producers.

Issues like CAUV reform, water quality and land management remain central to our legislative agenda and we are hard at work advocating for rural broadband access, improved access to meat processing facilities, and energy development.
