A significant group of Ohio Farm Bureau members convened at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus on February 18 for the annual Ag Day at the Capital. The event provided an opportunity for members to meet directly with state legislators and staff, focusing discussions on policy priorities that affect farms and rural communities across Ohio.
The Ohio Farm Bureau is a grassroots organization representing farmers throughout the state. It advocates for agricultural policies at local, state, and federal levels while offering benefits and programming to support its members. The organization also fosters achievements in food, fiber, and fuel production through various initiatives, including educational programs for young farmers developed in collaboration with institutions such as universities. More information about these efforts can be found on their official website.
In addition to advocacy work, the Ohio Farm Bureau maintains longstanding partnerships within the agricultural sector. Notably, it has a historical relationship with Nationwide that began when it spun off the Farm Bureau Mutual Automobile Insurance Company in 1926. The organization operates under a 26-member board of trustees and has placed markers recognizing its history outside locations like Jennings Hall at Ohio State University.
The Farm Bureau’s approach includes supporting young farmer development through education and providing expertise aimed at ensuring agricultural success statewide. Details about its structure, programs, and partnerships are available via its official website.
