Sustaining Sponsor Spotlight: Ohio Farm Bureau Federation

The Ohio AgriBusiness Association is pleased to feature our Sustaining Sponsors in the 2025 Spotlight Series. This week, the focus is on Bronze Sponsor: Ohio Farm Bureau Federation.

Location (Main Headquarters): Columbus, Ohio

Year started: 1919

Mission: Working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities.

Type of services offered:
Ohio Farm Bureau helps members achieve their best farm future. Members are provided valuable information, programs and services to strengthen their competitive advantage. No matter what kind of farming members do, their future is impacted by evolving markets, consumer trends, new technologies and our elected officials through the policies they enact. Farm Bureau advocates for members with lawmakers, in the media and influences ag policy to give members a competitive advantage through access to top-level business solutions.

Consider AgriPOWER
Professional development for members is a big part of Ohio Farm Bureau’s mission. OABA members may want to consider participating in AgriPOWER.

AgriPOWER is Ohio agriculture’s leadership development program for rising leaders in every sector. Topics covered during institute programs will include public policy matters facing local communities, the state of Ohio, the nation, and the world. Additionally, specific sessions will help class members develop important skills necessary to become effective leaders and advocate for agriculture.

Two of the institute sessions will be held out of state (one in Washington, D.C., and the other location will be decided at a later date) to help class members gain a valuable understanding of national and global issues.

Join other agribusiness professionals and producers for 7 seminars - 5 in Ohio, one out-of-state agriculture tour and one in Washington, D.C.

Application timeline and deadline: Applications Due August 1, 2025

How much does it cost? Tuition: $4,500. Financial support available on a competitive basis.
