The Ohio Farm Bureau announced on March 26 that registration is now open for its free 2026 ExploreAg camps, which will include an expanded series of one-day events and a weeklong immersive camp aimed at high school students.
The program is designed to promote agricultural literacy and workforce development among young people. By offering these camps at no cost, the Ohio Farm Bureau aims to encourage more students to explore careers in agriculture and related fields.
ExploreAg builds on the organization’s commitment to developing young farmers through educational collaborations, according to the official website of the Ohio Farm Bureau. The group represents farmers across Ohio and advocates for agricultural policies at local, state, and federal levels while providing benefits and programming for its members, as reported by the organization’s website.
The Ohio Farm Bureau operates under a 26-member board of trustees and maintains a longstanding partnership with Nationwide. This relationship dates back to the founding of what became Nationwide Insurance from a spin-off of the Farm Bureau Mutual Automobile Insurance Company in 1926, according to information provided by the organization.
In addition to its educational initiatives like ExploreAg, the bureau also supports agriculture through historical recognition efforts such as placing a historical marker outside Jennings Hall at Ohio State University. These activities reflect ongoing efforts by the bureau to support farmers throughout Ohio.
