What Ohio Farm Bureau Federation does
Mission
Our mission is working together for ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Materials are prepared for use in the training, implementation, and distribution of member communications programs. In addition, this department has charge of publications, media relations, web site and special public relations activities. It prepares news releases, pamphlets, production, publication and distribution of our ohio magazine, and prepares audio/visual presentations for use by state and county farm bureau leaders. This department also assists with membership marketing activities.
Public policy department is responsible for state and national public affairs and policy development programs. It is also responsible for working with member farm bureaus on local public affairs issues and polices. The department coordinates the government affairs and policy development activities of the member farm bureaus in ohio and between the state and afbf; maintains liaison with civic, government and private groups and agencies concerned with legislative and regulatory issues of interest to federation members; analyzes public opinion, government directives, regulations and statutes; conducts research on economics, socialogical and environmental issues; and conducts educational programs to disseminate information and suggest action programs to farm bureau members. The department is responsible for political action and education as it relates to farm bureau interests at all levels of government. We also engage society to provide a better understanding of food and animal production while participating in dialogue that affects how we care for animals and how we produce food.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $49M to $56M (+13%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
