The Wyandot County Farm Bureau will hold its Annual Meeting on Thursday, Aug. 9 at Ellis Lake, 7406 Township Highway 124, Upper Sandusky. Doors will open at 6 p.m. All Farm Bureau members are invited to attend. Reservations can be made by calling the Farm Bureau office at 419-447-3091 or emailing [email protected]. The cost is $10 per person. The deadline to RSVP is Aug. 2.

Active members (farmers) will be voting on proposed policy resolutions, new county trustees and Ohio Farm Bureau 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 importantly are used 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.
