2022 Ag-Venture
Planning for the 2022 Ag-Venture is underway! Stay tuned for details on the date, locations, and sponsors.
Wood County agriculture is a leading economic driver yet many Wood Countians are unaware of the products grown in their backyard. From eggs to Oreos, Wood County producers (farmers) are key manufacturers to the foods we eat and how we get around.
Join us on a tour of only a small portion of Wood County's 617 square miles to learn and experience the farm families and ag businesses who make it happen.

Recognition from the General Assembly of the Ohio Senate

The Wood SWCD was awarded the District of the Year for Excellence in Education at the 2019 Ohio Federation of Soil and Water Conservation Districts Annual Partnership Meeting.
The district also received the National Partnership Earth Team Award from USDA-NRCS. The Earth Team Volunteers Program is open to all volunteers over the age of 14. Without our volunteers we would not have been able to make Ag-Venture happen, as we had over 3,000 volunteer hours.
“Volunteers play a vital role in providing us with the necessary workforce to get our tasks and conservation activities completed,” said Terry Cosby, NRCS State Conservationist in Ohio. “Great opportunities and achievements come from volunteering. Without the support of volunteers and the communities we serve, our conservation goals would have been much harder to achieve.” An outstanding Earth Team Volunteer program relies on dedicated volunteers, and in 2018, more than 6,085 volunteers donated 46,214 volunteer service hours to Ohio NRCS valued at over $1.14 million.
Bob Moser was recognized as the Northeast Region Individual Volunteer. The Northeast region is made up of 14 states including Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia.
