Ohio Farm Bureau priority issues have been addressed in both the House and Senate versions of the state budget bills. Today, the Ohio Senate passed its version of the budget which will now be sent on to conference committee, to iron out differences with the House version.

In this audio clip Brandon Kern, Ohio Farm Bureau director of state policy, discusses Farm Bureau priorities in the budget bills, what will happen with the two versions of the budget bill and that Farm Bureau members should always continue to let their legislators and elected officials know how important these agricultural issues are.

Paul Harrison, Ohio Farm Bureau state trustee from Fostoria, recently spoke at a county Farm Bureau membership kick-off meeting and talked about the importance of CAUV. Paul spells out the tax savings a landowner receives and why beneficiaries of CAUV should be Farm Bureau members.
