Opening day at the @OhioStateFair. Come visit the butter cow and calf while enjoying a hand dipped ice cream or milk shake. @JobsOhio is proud to be a sponsor of the 2025 Fair.

Thanks to Ohio Milk Producers and Processcers for a thriving Dairy industry “Drink More Milk” @ohioagriculture
Ohio's farming legacy runs deep, and our food & agribusiness industry is a vital piece of one of the most diverse state economies in the U.S.! Our complete food value chain, coupled with a versatile infrastructure, abundant fresh water, low-cost natural gas, and a competitive business climate, allows companies to obtain raw materials, produce goods, and deliver products to market with greater efficiency. And with a wealth of R&D partners, the best products will keep improving. In Ohio, it’s not just about an end product. It’s about nourishing a better life – both for consumers and companies. A special shoutout to @TimDerickson for leading this sector - a former farmer and passionate advocate for the industry, his experience gives us a unique perspective as we cultivate an environment for success. youtu.be/U09yusCvYF8 @ohioagriculture @OhioFarmBureau @adamideast @OhioAgriBiz @kroger @MVPDairy @ToftDairy @PierresTweets @graeters @udf_official @jenisicecreams @dfamilk @UnitedDairyInc @ArpsDairy @PFDairy @HartzlerDairy @BieryCheese @snowvillecream @MiceliDairy @JobsOhio
