Welcome
Welcome to the 7th Annual Hocking County Farm Bureau Ag Days!
We certainly have a lot to be thankful for in our agricultural community.
Today, agriculture is still Ohios #1 industry contributing over $93
billion to the states economy annualy. There is a lot happening on Ohio
Farms.
Yet, with all of this activity there are still some things that you may
not know about todays agriculture. For instance, did you know that
a farmer today produces enought food and fiber for 155 people in the
United States and a broad? Compare that with a farmer only being able to
produce enought food and fiber for just 19 people back in 1940 and you
can see just how much more productive farmers have become. Did you
also know that 98% of all Ohio farms are family owned and operated?
Ohio farm families give great care to the land, crops and animals on their
farms each and every day to provide us with a safe, local and affordable
supply of food, fiber and fuel. And as Americans, we spend less than
6% of our annual disposable income on food for ourselves compared to
a whopping 50% in the country in Indonesia or 41% in Jordan.

Without question, farming has changed over the years. However, what
hasnt changed, is the hard work and dedication that Ohio farmers put
in to feeding a growing world. Farming and agriculture is not just a job,
its a way of life. That rural lifestyle is what we are here to celebrate this
weekend. So be sure to try some of our homemade apple butter, visit
our blacksmith, cheer on our tractor pull competitors and experience
our giant saw mill and steam engine. Welcome to our celebration of
American agriculture.

who
we are
If youre not a farmer, why would you want to join the Ohio Farm Bureau?
Do you believe property rights should be protected? Do you want to see Ohio
produce more of its own clean burning fuel? Do you want government to
spend your tax dollars wisely?
If you answered yes, youve just answered your own question about a
membership in the Farm Bureau.
