Please join us on Thurs., Dec. 4 at noon via Zoom when Scott Kleeb and Dave Southworth will share their insights about the plight of our farmers. Ag producers in Ohio are facing unprecedented struggles right now. (See this article: https://www.agri-pulse.com/articles/23515-bessent-pledges-financial-support-for-argentina-rankling-us-soybean-exporters.) Rising input costs, shrinking markets, and severe cuts at every part of USDA have led to a 46 percent increase in rural suicides. Learn how we can hear, understand, help, and advocate for ag producers right now...and earn their trust and their votes in 2026 and beyond.
Before the meeting tomorrow, you might also be interested in watching this video about why beef ranchers tend to vote for big business (thank you, Karen Lee!):
