Ohio Protects Farmland Amid Growth

Ohio’s farmland is staying in production thanks to a bold preservation program that’s protecting over 1,100 acres this year alone—ensuring farms remain farms forever. Landowners get financial support or tax breaks in exchange for keeping their land in agriculture, helping them modernize, conserve, or pass the farm to the next generation. With 112,600 acres saved across 780 farms since 1998, this initiative safeguards the state’s food security and farming heritage while balancing growth with conservation—24 new projects are already underway in central Ohio.
