Drought Funding for Farmers
Eligible livestock producers are receiving some much-needed assistance to recover from a historic drought. More than 3,000 farmers in 28 counties signed up for the $10 million allocated by Gov. Mike DeWine and the Ohio Legislature.
Protecting the Food Supply
ODA plays a vital role in ensuring the food you're getting from farm to table is safe to eat. Construction is well underway on the new Ohio Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory. This state-of-the-art facility will expand our testing capabilities for disease control programs and diagnostic laboratory services for veterinarians, livestock producers, and agribusinesses.
Flower Power
Whether it's colorful blooms for Mother's Day or changing up your landscaping, Ohio's nurseries and greenhouses are busy this time of year. ODA's Plant Health Inspectors visit these sites to make sure what you're buying is free from diseases and pests.
