Healthy water is our state’s most important natural resource and Ohio’s farmers care deeply about protecting it. Across Ohio, farmers are taking up the call to work together to improve our water quality. As natural stewards of soil and water, farmers across Ohio know they play a significant role in protecting water resources for Ohio’s families, schools, businesses and communities. Ohio Farm Bureau, along with our agriculture partners, will continue to work together to find tangible solutions to the state’s water quality challenges and demonstrate how Ohio can simultaneously maintain clean water and productive farming.
