Victories

The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation is truly a grassroots organization.  Our members write and approve our policies that dictate the legislative and regulatory efforts of the OFBF staff.  The policy development process begins at the county level.  Members write proposed policies and approve them at their county annual meetings.  From there, the proposed policies are reviewed by the state policy development committee and voted on at the OFBF annual meeting.  Federal policies continue on to the American Farm Bureau Federation annual meeting.

It is from these policies that State Board of Trustee decides our legislative priorities for the year. These policies also determine the organization’s position on proposed legislation.  When a priority issue is drafted as a bill and passed by the legislature in a form that is consistent with OFBF policy, we consider this a legislative victory.  Please click on the issues listed under victories to the left to view information about past legislative victories.
