About AgNR
Food and agriculture are Ohio's top industries, pumping over $71 billion into the economy each year. Ohio farmers grow more than 200 crops, create employment for 14% of the state-wide workforce, and carry on the pioneering legacy of agricultural technology. Ohio is blessed with a rich and varied landscape. From the rolling foothills of the Alleghany Mountain range in Southern Ohio to the fertile, flat farmland of Northwest Ohio. From Lake Erie to the Ohio River, and everywhere in between, we live in a state teaming with scenic beauty and wondrous natural features.
