Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, we are back here at another edition of
ACF four one one live from the Allen County Fairgrounds,
and we're in what used to be the milk parlor,
but now it's our podcast parlor, and we're glad to
be here with iHeart podcast and powered by Nutrient. We
also want to thank a couple of folks. We want
(00:21):
to thank Spencer's Sugar Shop for the cookies, So anybody
who comes and visits us inside the podcast parlor you can.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
You're welcome to take a cookie.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
And also we want to thank the Allen County Dairy
Services obviously for letting us use their milking parlor. And
I want to thank personally, I want to thank Alex Wolf,
our engineer from my heart, So thanks Alex. Make sure
we all sound good, which is pretty incredible in itself.
So so our guest for this edition is Samantha Bloom
(00:55):
with the Allen County Farm Bureau, and welcome to the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Thanks for having me rest excited to be here.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
So I guess the first question is what is the
Farm Bureau.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
That's a great question and we get that a lot.
So the Farm Bureau, or as you guys may see
it often the Ohio Farm Bureau is a grassroots membership
organization and we serve the agricultural communities of Ohio, specifically
my four counties oversee, Alan, Paulding, Putnam, and Van Werk
(01:25):
counties here in northwest Ohio.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
And so obviously.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
The focus is agriculture, but you also have some agribusiness
folks that are members.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
And just John Q. Public can be a.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
Member of the Farm Bureau right Absolutely, anyone who has
a vested interest in agriculture can join. And if you've
gotten up today, if you've put on clothes, if you've
eaten food, I would argue that you have a vested
interest in what we have to say. And agriculture has
changed so much. It's not just cows, salsand plows anymore.
(01:58):
We have a lot of agribusiness is an Allen County
that we get to work with, including nutrient which always
leads to some pretty exciting things.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
So I double one of my favorite places actually at
the Allen County Fair is the Allen County Farm Bureau's
head because secrets out now it's the best milkshake at
the Allen County Fair.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
I said it. I've made it official. The best absolutely
best milkshake at the fair is at the farm Bureau.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
But you have a lot of items out there, but
we're you're raising money, right, that's the whole idea.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
We are.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
I'm biased, so I love everything. Of course, this year
we actually debuted our brand new Farmer Bowl.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I know, I know, they're really good.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
So for just eight dollars you can get a fully
customizable mashed potato bowl with any kind of topic of meat.
And then we've got everything from Jalapinia's to Soara cream
and cheese. But we really strive. We have two goals
in our food stand. One here at the fair, we
want to give people a cost effective option for the
(03:00):
people who are here nine days straight and maybe get
something other than your stereotypical fair foods deep fried, which
those are great, but we all need a break sometimes.
And the second thing we're here for really carries on
throughout the year is all of the money we make,
which is very little.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
We try to keep our prices as low as possible.
We turn it right back around into the community. We
give it back to the kids.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
We go to the Youth Livestock auction on Friday, so
there's a little plug for that we do annual scholarships
for any student pursuing post secondary education. And that doesn't
just have to be your standard four year college. It
can be a trade school, it can be military, it
can be anything really, And we also do if you
go walking around the fair this year, you'll see not
only red T shirts but also purple and green and
(03:47):
T shirts from years past where every youth livestock exhibitor
that brings a project to the Allen County Fair gets
a T shirt just to kind of for us to
give back and let the kids know that we're here
to support them.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And if you're walking around the fair grinds, you're going
to know says this really nice new building on the
midway down here, the new Sheep and Goat Show arena.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
And I think it's got your name on it.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
It does.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
It's really you know, again I'm biased, but man, that's
one heck of a barn down there.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
You know, last fall we were approached by the fair manager,
Troy Elware, and they said that they had this idea
they wanted to improve the facilities here. And you know,
we got a lot of questions about that. We're a nonprofit,
we're membership based. So where did we come to that decision?
And you know, we sat down and talked about it
with the local county board. So your Farm Bureau here
(04:35):
in Allen County is governed by people who live working
farm here, and we decided that if we really want
to make an impact on those fairgrounds, if we really
want to benefit the youth exhibitors for generations to come,
that's a heck of a way to do it.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It is, and I've got to be fair. It's also
Mersey Health.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
So it's the it's the Farm Bureau Mercy Health, right, Yes,
And it's a goat and cheap.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
I think it's just show arena with the hope that
we can get anything in there. But that's another good
example of you know, we're agricultural based. We do have
farmers in our population. But then we you know, here
in Allen County, we get to work with such unique
groups like Mercy Health and we have a good relationship
with them as well.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, so I think.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
It's a great partnership.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
But you see a lot of that synergy, especially out
here at the Allen County Fair where this is just
too big for one organization to make this happen. So
it takes dozens and dozens of organizations to make the
Allen County Fair happen.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
It does, and it's it's really awesome.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You know.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
I've been in this role working for Farm Bureau for
two years, but I've been a Farm Bureau member and
actually served on the board here in Allen County for
much longer than that. And coming back a year after year,
having these businesses and local people invested in the communities
here just it blows me away. The giving is endless here.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I want to I want to go back and touch
touch on something you mentioned earlier, but kind of gloss too,
but I want to talk about those scholarships the Farm
Bureau gives away. I mean, you give away several scholarships
every year.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
Yeah, so we like to we're a little old fashioned
in this. Maybe we put out an application. It is online.
It runs from January to March thirty. First students go
in there and the only, really, the only major requirement
we have is you have to be related to a
Farm Bureau member, So MoMA or dad or grandma or
grandpa have to be a member. You input their information
(06:31):
and you just talk a little bit about you what
you want to do what your goals are. And then
what we do is we bring in every single applicant
for an interview. They sit down with us and just
talk for fifteen minutes. We want to get to know.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
You a little bit.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
And the spread of kids, I mean, every year we
have awesome kids we do. This year, we had six
recipients who are so deserving. They all come from different
backgrounds and they're going into different things.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
We have everything from.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Ag related majors to nursing and edgection. And it's interesting
how the generation youth generations today are maybe not going
into agricultural fields, maybe they're not going back to the
family farm, but they are tying that passion and love
for agriculture into what they are choosing to do. And
that's so important for the agricultural industry to succeed for
(07:18):
upcoming years.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
You know, And when I talk to people about careers
from nutrients perspective, I can't think of a thing that
somebody wants to go into that we can't tie back
to agriculture. So if they want to be a teacher,
great they could. They're going to be teaching future farmers
and future ag business people. And if and if they
want to be a nurse. Someone's going to take care
(07:40):
of all those farmers and their families. Yeah, accidents, accidents happen,
people get hurt, so you know, we want to make
sure we've got people who could take really good care
of our growers and their families.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And then of course we love it if they want
to go into agribusiness.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
But you know, and I'm glad you guys also added
the trades because we need lelders and we need you know,
today with technology in agriculture, it's exciting because so much
stuff now, you know, we can prescription apply fertilizers and
so we have very sophisticated digital GPS technology in the
(08:15):
caps of those tractors and those combines, and somebody's got
to be able to repair.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Those that stuff. But it goes weird on us.
Speaker 4 (08:22):
They do, and it's it's really exciting because we have
all these new technologies that are being developed. And I
often tell people that things are developed by the military
first and the agriculture gets their hands on them. But
I think what's different than you see in other sectors
of business and industry is that the older generations are
hungry for it. You know it you know, we kind
(08:43):
of idealize and picture our old stubborn farmers, and don't
get me wrong, I have quite a few of.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Them in Allen County, or maybe one sitting here in
the room with me.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
But they are growing and developing themselves. Like you said,
we can precision apply things down onto the plant in
our fields, and that's so important because costs are rising.
We're quickly going into a fall where prices are going
to be a little rough, So you know, how do
we combat that? And then how can Farm Bureau better
(09:13):
be providing resources for our people at this time?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Absolutely, and you're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Nobody, I mean farmers are various student business people and
nobody wants to put an input into a field that
doesn't need it. But we do want to have the
input where we need it because we need to maximize
our yields. So with today's technology.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
We're putting only what we need where we need.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
It on the field and the whole field doesn't need
to be treated the same way.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
And technology allows us to do that.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
And I'm glad you brought that up because you know,
just today things are coming out of Toledo, the Lake
Erie Watershed area where in times of these water crises
with the algae blooms. It's really easy to point fingers
at agriculture, you know, it just it seems to be
kind of where we want to point the blame. But
I kind of approach it with the same thing I
(10:00):
approach it with people who maybe think that we as
farmers mistreat our animals. Our animals are investments and putting
things on our fields costs money. So I can guarantee
you that there's not a farmer out there who wants
to put excess, who wants to do damage, because in
the long run it's going to lead to higher costs
and more work. So, you know, we as an industry
(10:22):
have really brought it back in terms of the resources
we're using, the impacts we have on our waterways, and
how we're treating our livestock.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Absolutely, and I.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Think agriculture at home, whether it's the growers, the producers,
it's the input producers. I mean, we made a goal
at Dark Company to reduce our our carbon footprint by
twenty thirty.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I think the exciting thing is.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Here at Lima, at the line of a nitrogen plant,
we've reduced our carbon footprint.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
By forty It's It's really amazing to see what you
guys do and then the impact that it turns around
and has on the community, because the people who work
for you have a little bit more knowledge about agriculture
than you might expect in such an urban area like Lima.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And one of the people somebody asked me, Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So you reduce your carbon footprint by forty percent, what
does that mean? Well, so we broke it down into
something people can visualize. The amount that we reduce our
carbon footprint is the equivalent of taking fifty two thousand
gas burning vehicles off the roadway every day.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
And that's incredible the impact that you guys can have
just by making what I think are simple and necessary changes.
So I really hope others follow suit. And I'm glad
you brought up the energy thing. Next Wednesday, we're actually
hosting a meeting where farmers can come in and learn
about that carbon reporting and how to reduce their footprint,
and then we can we're also talking a little bit
(11:42):
about renewable resources. It's always a topic. It's been a
topic for the last ten years, solar and wind here
in northwest Ohio.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
All right, So we're going to wrap up here in
a second, but I do want to give you a
chance to plug a couple of things. First, you did
talk about one of the goals of the food stand
out here is to have an economical option for people
who are here every day.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Again, how much are your hot dogs?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Our hot dogs are two dollars fresh off the roller.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
That's right, two dollars for hot You won't find a
bargain like that.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
And then you couple that with the absolute best milkshake
at the Allen County Fair.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
And if you don't think we have the best milkshake,
let me prove it to you.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Come on down.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
We have what we call our apple Pie milkshake, where
we take an entire slice of Dutch apple pie and
blend it into a vanilla milkshake.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So, Alex, we've got a sign off.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Early, so get down at the farm pier all right,
Samantha Bloom from the Allen County Farm Buer, thanks for
stopping in the podcast parlor.
Speaker 3 (12:39):

So so our guest for this edition is Samantha Bloom
(00:55):
with the Allen County Farm Bureau, and welcome to the podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:58):

have really brought it back in terms of the resources
we're using, the impacts we have on our waterways, and
how we're treating our livestock.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Absolutely, and I.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Think agriculture at home, whether it's the growers, the producers,
it's the input producers. I mean, we made a goal
at Dark Company to reduce our our carbon footprint by
twenty thirty.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I think the exciting thing is.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Here at Lima, at the line of a nitrogen plant,
we've reduced our carbon footprint.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
By forty It's It's really amazing to see what you
guys do and then the impact that it turns around
and has on the community, because the people who work
for you have a little bit more knowledge about agriculture
than you might expect in such an urban area like Lima.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And one of the people somebody asked me, Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
So you reduce your carbon footprint by forty percent, what
does that mean? Well, so we broke it down into
something people can visualize. The amount that we reduce our
carbon footprint is the equivalent of taking fifty two thousand
gas burning vehicles off the roadway every day.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
And that's incredible the impact that you guys can have
just by making what I think are simple and necessary changes.
So I really hope others follow suit. And I'm glad
you brought up the energy thing. Next Wednesday, we're actually
hosting a meeting where farmers can come in and learn
about that carbon reporting and how to reduce their footprint,
and then we can we're also talking a little bit
(11:42):
about renewable resources. It's always a topic. It's been a
topic for the last ten years, solar and wind here
in northwest Ohio.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
All right, So we're going to wrap up here in
a second, but I do want to give you a
chance to plug a couple of things. First, you did
talk about one of the goals of the food stand
out here is to have an economical option for people
who are here every day.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Again, how much are your hot dogs?
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Our hot dogs are two dollars fresh off the roller.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
That's right, two dollars for hot You won't find a
bargain like that.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
And then you couple that with the absolute best milkshake
at the Allen County Fair.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
And if you don't think we have the best milkshake,
let me prove it to you.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Come on down.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
We have what we call our apple Pie milkshake, where
we take an entire slice of Dutch apple pie and
blend it into a vanilla milkshake.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
So, Alex, we've got a sign off.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Early, so get down at the farm pier all right,
Samantha Bloom from the Allen County Farm Buer, thanks for
stopping in the podcast parlor.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Thanks for having me, Russ
Speaker 1 (12:40):
And we'll be back with another episode of ACF four
oh one right after this
