Kayla Scott of Mineral City has been named organization director for the Ohio Farm Bureau. She will serve members across Carroll, Harrison, Jefferson, and Tuscarawas counties. In her new role, Scott will partner with county Farm Bureaus to tackle agricultural issues and support community development.
Scott brings a strong agricultural background, having grown up raising and showing pigs, dairy cattle, and sheep with her family. She spent many years traveling nationwide to participate in livestock shows and was actively involved in Tuscarawas County 4-H for a decade.
Her professional experience includes working in a commercial swine barn, a local feed store in eastern Ohio, and two research labs within The Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences.
These diverse roles have given her a broad understanding of the agriculture industry, particularly in livestock production, research, and business management.
Scott holds both associate’s and bachelor’s degrees in agriculture from The Ohio State University and is set to complete her master of science degree this summer.
During her time at the university, she participated in a study abroad program in the United Kingdom, competed on the university’s meat evaluation team, and contributed to statewide research and Extension projects.
The Ohio Farm Bureau works to advance agriculture and strengthen communities across the state. With her background in research, education, and hands-on agriculture, Scott is well-equipped to support farmers and promote agricultural growth in her region.
