Mark your calendar for the Wood County Ag-Venture Self-Driving Farm Tour September 17, 2022. Local agriculture industries are opening their farms and businesses in southeast Wood County to highlight Ohio’s #1 Industry – agriculture.

Agriculture is a vital industry in Wood County. Fields of corn, soybeans, and wheat are seen as we drive through the county or even in our own backyards. Wood County has many specialty crops, too, that people are not aware of. Fields of pumpkins, peppers, cucumbers and seafood. Maybe you’ve seen enormous bales of hay and straw. Have you noticed the family farms with cattle, chickens, pigs, and sheep? Have you ever heard of a “Poor Farm”? Get a chance to visit the Wood County Museum and see what history you can uncover about these former public charity poor farm sites.
