Our farmers have a great respect for the land and a strong commitment to protect it.

From no-till farming to crop rotation to responsible land use, our farmers understand the value of sustainable agriculture and work to safeguard:

- Water use and quality
- Air quality
- Biodiversity
- Soil loss
- Energy use
- Climate impact

We work with our farmers to continually improve environmental stewardship while protecting their right to farm.

A balance is sought between legitimate environmental concerns and the economic realities of farming. Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association supports programs that ensure environmental permanence with the need to maintain a long-term, dependable food supply and the necessity for long-term profitability in farming. 

Ohio Corn & Wheat Growers Association challenges farmers to take part in the ongoing and vital environmental stewardship discussion — with neighbors, with consumers, with members of Congress. Talk to them about:

• The farming practices you do that supports environmental stewardship
• How you have seen farming practices change over the years as new technology becomes available that increases your ability to be environmentally sound

We believe that farmers must have a voice in this issue.
