Posted By: Lindsay-Jo Douglas February 15, 2026

From WOOD COUNTY FARM BUREAU

The Wood County Farm Bureau is hosting an educational meeting on Thursday, Feb. 26, at 7 p.m., at the Wood County Fairgrounds Junior Fair Building. This meeting will educate members on all aspects of data center operations, including energy markets, pipeline technology, water usage, and more. Dale Arnold, Ohio Farm Bureau director of energy development, will be the featured presenter.

This is a members-only event. Members are encouraged to register early by calling the Farm Bureau office at 419-518-6055. While members are welcome at the door, pre-registration is recommended as seating may be limited. If someone is not currently a member and wishes to attend, visit ofbf.org/join to join prior to the event.

The Wood County Farm Bureau would like to hear policy suggestions; it will provide an opportunity to submit policies to be considered by the local county board. People are invited to join the grassroots process and let their voices be heard.
