On the latest Ohio Farm Bureau Podcast, get an update on the real estate picture in rural Ohio from Wright and Moore and find out why a new farm bill is a priority for Sunrise Cooperative and their members.
According to the latest Census of Agriculture, Ohio lost 300,000 acres of farmland between 2017 and 2022. How can we harness the economic and energy development Ohio is realizing, while still maintaining the state’s agrarian heritage and its No. 1 industry? As we find out from Andrew Wecker of Wright and Moore on this Ohio Farm Bureau Podcast, the issue brings with it many challenges and opportunities. Plus, farm bill talks are happening, but action doesn’t seem to be a priority. Find out why it is for Sunrise Cooperative as we visit with CEO George Secor.
Join us for a presentation on Farmland Protection on Tuesday, March 11 at 6 p.m. at the Lorain County Community College, Wellington Center (151 Commerce Dr, Wellington, OH).
