Welcome to the Ohio Forage & Grasslands Council. We are dedicated to advancing the forage and grasslands industry throughout the state of Ohio.

About Us

We do forage

sustainable grazing lands

Ohio Forage & Grassland Council provides practical, research-based pasture, hay, baleage, and silage information. We provide professional development for producers, scientists, educators, and industry representatives. OFGC is an affiliate of the American Forage & Grassland Council.

The Ohio Forage and Grasslands Council, Inc. exists to enhance the profitability of Ohio farmers through the use of forage and grasslands resources, and to facilitate the opportunity for collective interaction between producers and other forage workers, both public and private.

  • Encourage research, education, and service efforts so as to improve forage production, utilization, and marketing.
  • Represent a collective voice for issues affecting forage-animal agriculture.
  • Develop present and future leaders in the forage industry.

Testimonials

Ohio Forage and Grassland Council is one of the most encompassing commodity groups I have interacted with. To bring producers, educators, researchers, and industry to the same table for fellowship on a regular basis is really special. I will hold this one near and dear to my heart for my whole career.
