County Farm Bureaus Honored for Programming
Ohio Ag Connection - 12/13/2018

Twenty-one county Farm Bureaus were honored with Achievement Awards for outstanding programming over the past year during the 100th annual meeting of Ohio Farm Bureau Dec. 6-7.

"Our county Farm Bureaus are the heart of our organization," said Ohio Farm Bureau Executive Vice President Adam Sharp. "Our members know what their communities need and help make good things happen."

Volunteer Farm Bureau members judged the projects, which represent excellence in local activities that support Ohio Farm Bureau's strategic efforts. Those include programs to strengthen the organization and build membership, affect public policy, promote agriculture and enhance the organization's relationship with long-standing partner Nationwide. The counties were placed in four divisions based on the size of their membership.

Collaboration Awards also were presented to county Farm Bureaus that worked together to create unique and effective programming.
