Farmland News

At Farmland News, our mission is to build a connected agricultural community —bringing together generations to share knowledge, strengthen relationships, and support the people who work the land and feed our nation.

We are committed to educating and informing working farmers through relevant insights in farm technology, innovation, and the evolving business of agriculture, while also providing meaningful guidance on succession planning and multi-generational estate planning to help preserve family farms for the future.

At the same time, we are dedicated to engaging and empowering the next generation—supporting FFA students, 4-H members, ag education programs, and young leaders who will shape the future of agriculture.

None of this happens alone. We are proud to work alongside our Sponsors, whose investment fuels this platform, our Contributors, who bring it to life through their stories and experiences, and our Members, who engage, share, and make this community what it is.

Together, we are building a platform that connects, educates, and advances agriculture—today and for generations to come.

Collegiate Farm Bureau launches at University of Findlay

A new Collegiate Farm Bureau chapter has been established at the University of Findlay, creating opportunities for students to connect with Ohio’s agricultural industry, develop leadership skills and prepare for careers in food and agriculture.

The student-led organization held its first meeting earlier this year, drawing more than 30 attendees and generating interest across campus, particularly through the school’s faculty and animal science program.

“We created the Findlay Collegiate Farm Bureau chapter to give I students a voice in their agriculture community and to provide a platform for our members to interact with agriculture leaders,” said Graclyn Heider, chapter president. “This program will be incredibly valuable to the University of Findlay by connecting students to real-world agricultural issues, building strong networks, and preparing us to advocate for the future of the industry.”
