Union County: Sowing the Seeds of Success With a history deeply-‐rooted in agriculture, Union County is ideally suited for agriculture and agribusiness with a fertile soil base, plentiful growing season, and research and development infrastructure in place. There are currently over 241,000 acres being utilized in full agricultural production in Union County, managed by nearly 900 farms (including 13 Century Farms). While Union County is known regionally for its crop production and livestock, it has emerged as a key location for agribusiness and agricultural research and development. Select Sires, located near Plain City, is North America’s largest A.I. organization with over 185 employees. The company was honored with the Governor’s Excellence in Exporting Award in 2008 and was named Union County’s Large Business of the Year in 2009. Select Sires is not the only agribusiness to achieve success in Union County. Kanematsu USA, a subsidiary of Honda of America Manufacturing, processes an estimated 32,000 acres of non-‐genetically modified food-‐grade soybeans and 1,300 acres of organic soybeans. The soybeans are grown in Union County and processed into gourmet quality tofu in Japan. In Union County, success is planted by the acre, and to foster the growth of our agricultural-‐
based industries, the Union County Chamber of Commerce established the Agriculture Association in 2009. The Association is comprised of local farmers, agriculture business owners and organizations that work within the agricultural community. With a mission to champion agricultural economic development and activity through communication, education and promotion to consumers, agribusinesses and public entities, the Association has undertaken several projects and forged partnerships that will ensure that agriculture remains a viable and dominant industry for generations to come. For more information about the Union County Agriculture Association, please contact the Union County Chamber of Commerce by calling 937.642.6279. Important Agriculture Facts •
