Hello friends, hopefully spring is around the corner! The county has several activities coming up so I urge you to look inside and join these great programs. In addition, we are working on our new member campaign and would love if you could help us out and sign up your neighbors, friends, or family who are not members. Right now, new members will receive a $10 gift card back when they sign by March 12 and return the membership to our county office ONLY. As the signer of a new member you will receive prizes from the county contest. SIGN and WIN today! Finally, the county and state Farm Bureaus are working hard on their priority issues: State Budget, Environmental Stewardship, Ag. Education, Rural Schools and Workforce Development, Ohio’s Business Climate, and Natural Resources and Energy. All Farm Bureau members have helped us and will continue to work on these issues that are affecting our farms and families. Finally, a big THANKS to all the volunteers who have helped the county on programs and events. If you are interested in joining us or have a program or initiative, please contact our office.
