Please join us for an informational session and Q&A with Ohio Farm Bureau's Dale Arnold regarding landowner rights. These meetings are free to attend, but donations for our grassroots advocacy efforts from non-members are welcome and will count towards membership costs if you decide to join. Please feel free to contact the office directly if you have any questions. We hope to see you there!
