ExploreAg is a signature project of Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation’s Fisher Fund, named after former Ohio Farm Bureau Executive Vice President Jack Fisher. ExploreAg introduces students to the many career opportunities that are in high demand in the agriculture industry.

Ohio alone is projected to have 18,000 new job openings annually in related fields through 2020.
