Richland County Farm Bureau is excited to invite you to this year’s Annual Meeting & Dinner. Please join us at the Der Dutchman in Bellville for a fun evening of fellowship and information.

Our guest speaker for the evening is Adam Garman, a third generation farmer from Ross county where me manages his family’s cattle and hay farm. Garman and his wife, Amy, have a two year old, “Gabbi,” and are due with daughter number two in late November. Through Garman’s unusual speech, he brings a different type of comedy to life’s experiences. 

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Attendees will take part in a buffet-style meal beginning at 6 p.m. All Farm Bureau members are welcome and the cost is only $12 per person.

You can pick up tickets at the Farm Bureau tent at the Richland County Fair, make your reservations here, call into the office by Aug. 30 at (419) 747-7488, or email [email protected] and pay at the door.

We look forward to your attendance to have an enjoyable evening while also voting on important code changes, issues and policy resolutions, new county trustees and Ohio Farm Bureau annual meeting delegates. 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 are used to develop programs, projects and advocacy at the state and federal level, but just as important, to help guide the yearly plan of work for county Farm Bureau volunteers. Trustees and delegates work to ensure these policies are put into action through county events and representation at the Ohio Farm Bureau Annual Meeting as well as in Columbus and Washington when legislators look at rural issues.

Remember, all Farm Bureau members and their families are invited to join us for this special event.

We hope to see you there!
