Join us at our 92nd State Convention, Jan. 31, 2026
We hope you’ll join us at the Ohio Farmers Union 92nd State Convention, happening Saturday, January 31, 2026, in Lima, Ohio, at the Howard Johnson (9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.). Register Today!
This year’s convention comes at an important moment. It has been a tough year for many farm families—but we know from experience that we are stronger together. This gathering is our chance to reconnect with friends, hear from national and state leaders, shape policy, and prepare for the work ahead in 2025 advocating for family farmers and rural communities.
What The Day Will Include:
Dr. Ian Sheldon and Dr. Barry Ward share their expertise on trade, tariffs, the farm economy
Dr. Shoshana Inwood will discuss how health care and childcare are impacting family farms' viability.
Dr. Christina Collins from Honesty for Ohio's Schools will engage with us on the state of rural school funding and how we can advocate for stronger schools!
National Farmers Union President Rob Larew addressing the convention.
A chance to hear from and mingle with many candidates for local and state office during an election year
Member-driven policy and elections
And yes—a delicious lunch provided by Blank Angus Catering (you won’t want to miss it!)
Please register soon so we can plan accordingly. We are excited to see familiar faces, welcome new members, and spend a day together building momentum for the year ahead.
