This resolution honors the Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) during March 2025 as National Agriculture Month, recognizing the agency's significant contributions to the state. Established in 1846, the ODA is one of the oldest agriculture departments in the United States and plays a critical role in protecting citizens by ensuring food safety, maintaining the health of food animals and plant life, and creating economic opportunities for Ohio's farmers and agribusinesses. The resolution highlights that agriculture remains the top industry in Ohio, with over 74,500 farms, and commends the ODA for enhancing the quality of life in society through its dedicated service. The Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio specifically resolves to commend the ODA during National Agriculture Month 2025, encourages citizens to participate in related activities and projects, and instructs the Senate Clerk to send an authenticated copy of the resolution to the Ohio Department of Agriculture.
