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. We
would love to talk with you!
Farm Bureau is
working for you!
