Introduction to Agriculture

Welcome

In this series, you will begin by learning about the agriculture industry in Ohio and the United States as a whole. The remaining modules will build upon this foundational knowledge and go into a more indepth exploration of specific agriculture sectors and topics including crops, dairy and beef cattle, etc.

Who Is It For

This professional development series was created for people working in banking and insurance companies who support agriculture clientele's.  If you are new to agriculture, this series will give you a better understanding of clienteles background, as well as some of their challenges and opportunities they face when running their businesses.

How It Works
