More than 300 Ohio Farm Bureau members met to discuss priority issues with their state senators and representatives during Ag Day at the Capital.
Ohio Farm Bureau President Bill Patterson says as a grassroots organization, it’s critical for members to discuss priority issues with lawmakers.
“Ohio Farm Bureau as an organization can tell the message as much as it likes to, but until you put a face to that message, until you put the farmer that’s affected or the rural Ohioan affected by the policies that lawmakers are enacting, you’re never fully connecting the message,” he says.
