2015 Ohio agriculture in review - from OSU Extension Office

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 3, 2016 - 10:11am

By Ed Lentz – OSU Extension, Hancock County
Agriculture in 2015 has had many bumps and bruises. I have listed nine events that affected agriculture in our area last year.

Grain Prices. Grain prices continue to remain low for another year. It is been projected that US farm revenue may be at its lowest level since the early 2000’s. Input costs have started to drop but not at a level to match the loss of income. Farm land values have slowly begun to drop as a result of lower farm revenue.
