Brad Mularcik, a long-standing member of the Summit County Farm Bureau, believes that there is too little attention paid to the skilled trades as a career choice for young people. Despite having a masters degree in electrical engineering, he believes that a college degree is not the only path to success.
In 2012, he began teaching the Welding Merit Badge for the Boy Scouts of America. He is a self-taught hobby welder who believed that he knew enough about welding to introduce kids to it. Teaching the merit badge caused Mr. Mularcik to become more aware of the skills gap in America and the need for more young people to enter the skilled trades, particularly welding.
By offering this scholarship, he wishes to help young people who are seeking a career in welding. The Mularcik Welding Scholarship provides one (1), $5,000 scholarship to a deserving student seeking a career in welding.
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
It wasn’t until I joined the Wilmington College Collegiate Farm Bureau that I truly saw how my passion could translate into leadership, advocacy and a career.
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.
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.
