Ohio Farm Bureau has announced that Olivia Robinson of Hanover has been named the new organization director serving Guernsey, Morgan, Muskingum and Perry counties. In this position, Robinson will work closely with local county Farm Bureaus to help address issues that matter most to members, strengthen community programs and support agricultural development across the region.
Robinson brings a wide range of experience to her new role. She served six years in the Ohio Air National Guard and later worked five years as a nurse.
Most recently, she spent two years as a contract specialist for the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency. Her professional background reflects strong leadership, commitment to service and an understanding of rural communities.
Her connection to agriculture began during childhood on her family’s dairy farm. At the age of 12, she started her own Jersey herd and became deeply involved in youth agricultural programs.
She spent 10 years in the Licking County Jersey 4‑H Club and also participated in the Licking Valley FFA Chapter. During that time, she showed dairy and beef cattle, market hogs and ducks at various events.
Today, she continues her involvement in youth agriculture as an advisor for the Licking County Jersey 4‑H Club and remains active in farming with her family.
Robinson holds a bachelor’s degree in animal science from the University of Findlay and an associate degree in practical nursing from the Community College of the Air Force. Her educational background supports her understanding of both livestock care and community health, enhancing her ability to serve Farm Bureau members effectively.
Ohio Farm Bureau’s mission is “working together for Ohio farmers to advance agriculture and strengthen our communities.” Robinson’s experience in agriculture, military service and community leadership aligns strongly with this mission.
