Farm Bureau members will vote on a code change, guiding policies, elect trustees and select delegates to the Ohio Farm Bureau Annual Meeting for 2026.

To continue providing the many valuable services our members expect, OFBF conducted a comprehensive financial review from 2019 to 2021, involving county leaders, state trustees and outreach meetings held throughout the state to gather feedback. As a result of this member-driven process, the delegate body approved setting a statewide dues rate at the 2021 OFBF Annual Meeting.

The proposed language for the code will align the Marion County Farm Bureau Code with the OFBF Code of Regulations for the dues rate. The current Marion County dues rate is $120 and will not change at this time. Click here to see the proposed change Marion County Farm Bureau Code.

The policies of Farm Bureau are the backbone of the organization. They provide the framework through which we advocate for family, community and food security. They help guide efforts to address real community issues—issues such as regulations, funding public education and services, environmental protection, animal care, health care, landowner’s rights and community planning. These policies and trustees help guide the yearly plan of work for Marion County Farm Bureau volunteers.

Are you ready to be more involved? Farm Bureau is a grassroots membership organization that works to support our state’s food and farm community. The county Farm Bureau is the very heart and strength of the organization. Marion County Farm Bureau is seeking candidates for trustees to be elected at the annual meeting.

If you are interested in making a difference in your community, planning activities, and organizing sessions to help local farmers, please let us know. Nominations can be made from the floor at the meeting. If you can’t commit the time to be a trustee, we still have a spot for those willing to help! Volunteers are needed at different times throughout the year. You can volunteer for one particular event, participate in many areas or serve on committees.

Join your friends and neighbors for an evening of food, fun, and entertainment as we celebrate our organization’s successes.

We hope to see you there!
