For the first time in its more than 100 year history, Ohio Farm Bureau’s annual meeting was largely held remotely across the state this past week. The yearly face-to-face gathering of members from all around Ohio was prohibited by orders from the Ohio Department of Health limiting indoor gatherings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this first-of-its-kind annual meeting allowed members to get involved as much as they chose from the comfort of their home, physically together with other delegates from their county or while they are working on the farm. On this Our Ohio Weekly, host Ty Higgins shares some of the many highlights of this year’s Annual Meeting.

Guests:

Adam Sharp, executive vice president, Ohio Farm Bureau

Frank Burkett, president, Ohio Farm Bureau

Kim Harless, Organization Director, Ohio Farm Bureau

Dr. John Newton, chief economist, American Farm Bureau
