Ohio Farmers and Local Veterans Host “Rural Buckeyes for Sherrod” Event in Kinsman

KINSMAN, OH – Today, Ohio Farmers Union President Joe Logan, former Air Force pilot and farmer Ted Logan, Army veteran John Davis, and local farmer Tim Bonar hosted a “Rural Buckeyes for Sherrod” event in Kinsman.

The “Rural Buckeyes for Sherrod” event highlighted Sherrod’s record of delivering for Ohio’s rural communities and issues that are important to all Ohioans.

“One thing I know for sure about Sherrod Brown: he’s one good guy. He takes the time to listen to Ohioans and then brings our ideas to Washington and puts them into action,” said former Air Force Pilot and farmer Ted Logan. “Just recently, Sherrod’s All American Flag Act was signed into law. And while Sherrod ran into obstacles every time he introduced it, Sherrod persisted because he understands how important this bill is for our country, our veterans, and our servicemembers.”

“We know exactly where Sherrod stands, he stands on the side of Ohioans. From creating jobs and economic opportunities in rural communities to protecting access to rural healthcare, cutting costs, and supporting Ohio farmers, Sherrod supports all Ohioans – no matter who they are, where they live, or what they do,” said Ohio Farmers Union President Joe Logan.

“Sherrod Brown has always been a steadfast advocate for Ohio’s military community and those who have served our nation. When Sherrod heard about toxic burn pits and the devastating effects they were having on Ohio veterans, he lept into action to pass legislation that made sure veterans have access to the health care and benefits they earned,” said Army veteran John Davis.

“Earlier this year, Sherrod worked across the aisle to allow E-15 fuel to be sold throughout the summer, lowering gas costs for Ohioans and benefiting corn farmers like myself,” said local farmer Tim Bonar. “Sherrod has always been willing to put party politics aside, work across the aisle, and do what’s right for our state – that’s what makes him different.”

Sherrod record of delivering for rural communities and Ohio veterans speaks for itself:

  • Sherrod secured key priorities in the 2018 Farm Bill, including provisions to improve water quality in Ohio, increase profits for farmers, and improve food accessibility.
  • Sherrod successfully urged the EPA to lift the E15 summertime ban which expands markets for Ohio farmers and lowers energy prices for Ohioans.
  • Sherrod is working to rein in abuse of the farm payment system and ensure taxpayer support is targeted to local Ohio farmers, not corporate agribusinesses.
  • Sherrod is working to ensure that Ohio farmers have access to the crop insurance they need to weather the risks of farming and compete.
  • Sherrod is leading a bipartisan effort to block taxpayer money from being used to subsidize biofuels produced using imported foreign feedstocks such as Chinese used cooking oil and Brazilian ethanol.
  • Sherrod is fighting to prevent Chinese investors from buying American farmland which hurts Ohio farmers and threatens national security by leading the Promoting Agriculture Safeguards and Security Act.
  • Sherrod wrote and passed the bipartisan PACT Act – named after an Ohio veteran – to secure health care and benefits for veterans exposed to toxins and burn pits during their service. Sherrod hosted veteran roundtables in Trumbull County and across the state to ensure veterans are aware of the benefits available to them through the PACT Act.
  • Sherrod passed the All American Flag Act, ensuring that flags that fly over government buildings and military bases are made in America, by American workers.
  • Sherrod successfully led efforts to save the Chillicothe VA and established the Strengthening the Chillicothe VA committee to ensure Ohio veterans continue receiving the treatment and care they deserve.
  • Sherrod introduced the Veterans Housing Stability Act to prevent servicemembers and veterans who used home loans during the COVID-19 pandemic from losing their homes and successfully pushed the VA to launch a program helping servicemembers and veterans keep their homes.
  • Sherrod continues to push the VA to modernize veterans’ healthcare records and better protect the personal information contained in those records.
