Representative Jim
Buchy Earns Cattlemen’s Industry Service Award
(MARYSVILLE, Ohio) – The Ohio Cattlemen’s Association (OCA) awarded
Representative Jim Buchy of the Ohio House District 84, the Industry
Service Award at the OCA awards banquet held Jan. 24, 2015, at the
Nationwide Hotel and Conference center in Lewis Center, Ohio.
OCA and Ohio’s Country Journal jointly sponsor this award to recognize
Ohio’s top service providers for the beef industry. The award
presentation featured a video of Representative Jim Buchy that was
generously sponsored by Darke, Mercer and Shelby County Cattlemen’s
Associations.
This award is presented to people who are not beef producers, but
rather to an individual who contributes to the betterment of the cattle
industry. Representative Jim Buchy started his career by serving his
community through his family’s meat business in Greenville, Ohio. He
was appointed to the Greenville Board of Education in 1980 and was
elected to serve in the Ohio House of Representatives nine times
between 1983 and 2000. Following his time in the House of
Representatives, Jim became the Assistant Director at the Ohio
Department of Agriculture. In 2011, he returned to the statehouse to
continue his work in representing agriculture.
He believes that agriculture is the base of our country’s success and
has a heart for the beef industry.
The Ohio Cattlemen’s Association is a non-profit membership
organization that represents the business interests and way of life
important to farm families that raise cattle. It serves as the voice
and issues manager for all of Ohio’s beef cattle business including
cattle breeders, producers and feeders. It is the beef industry’s
grassroots policy development organization and is an affiliate of the
National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. The Ohio Cattlemen’s Association
strives to maintain profitability and growth of Ohio's beef industry,
while providing consumers with safe and wholesome beef.
