2017 Membership Campaign By Pete Schanz

By

 

Here we grow again!  Yes, it is that time of the year when we start our membership kickoff campaign to grow our organization for the New Year.  I have been asked to organize our campaign for this year.  This will be a “traditional” campaign in that we will focus our efforts during February and March to increase our active membership.  I would like to encourage you to join our team, sign up your fellow neighbors and those farmers you know who would benefit by belonging to this great organization.  In Summit County, we officially begin on February 6, and will have the last report in on March 15th.  Statewide, the campaign will be over on March 31st.

Why join Farm Bureau?  If you are not a farmer, that is a good question.  Actually there are quite a few benefits. Some of these are:

Members can receive $500 Bonus Cash on Chevrolet, GMC or Buick vehicles purchased or leased (contact the FB office for details).

  1. Receive a 10% discount on items from Grainger.com (Includes free freight).
  2. Choice Hotels gives 20% off published rack rate (includes; Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Quality Inn, Sleep Inn, Clarion, Cambria Suites and several others).
  3. Receive 20% discount at Great Wolf Lodge, nationwide.
  4. Save 5-25% on daily, weekend and weekly car rental from Avis Rental.
  5. Save 25% off Budget Car rental rates
  6. Ohio State Parks Resorts operated by Xanterra Parks and Resorts offer from 10 to 30% discounts.
  7. Discounts to Cedar Point, Kings Island, Soak City, Castaway Bay, Columbus Zoo and Zoombezi Bay are available.

For farmers, there are even more advantages because Farm Bureau is your Champion when it comes to legal matters involving fence line laws, dog issues, energy meetings, easements, utility access issues, CAUV savings, estate tax exposure and providing you direct input on all agricultural issues.

For me, Farm Bureau is “The Voice of Agriculture”.  Anyone who eats food should be a member of Farm Bureau.  There are several levels of membership available; young active, active or Farm Bureau Supporter.  Contact the Summit County Farm Bureau office, 800/654-5158 for membership applications.
