OWENSVILLE, OH- Ohio has a unique geographic climate that allows for us to be in proximity of metropolitan and micropolitan areas while keeping that rural and urban consumer, grower and community connected. Ohio producers raise many species of livestock and grow 200 plus different kinds of crops including a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs, meat, nuts, eggs, dairy products and more. Farms that direct market these come in all sizes (Lev & Gwin, 2010).

The Northeast Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota area seemed to be about right on moisture, to actually needing a little drink in some locations.
