August 2013

At the Ohio Department of Agriculture, we spend a great deal of me formula ng and enforcing rules and rural policy that aff ect agriculture. Our policy decisions resonate through all levels of state government right down to the guy out in the fi eld thinking about how he is going to pay his taxes, keep his farm produc ve, and pass his business on to the next genera on.

I am from a farm family, so I can tell you with certainty that most farmers understand that change is inevitable. As a leader in state government, I can also tell you that as mes change, so must public policy.

The past several years have brought some incredible changes to this state.

Ohio is successfully emerging from one of the most pivotal periods in its history, during which me we closed a historic $7.7 billion budget imbalance without raising taxes. Governor Kasich has long believed that Ohio’s taxes are too high. The governor’s tax cuts will mean an income tax reduc on and small business tax cut. He also eliminated the estate tax, which means farmers will no longer be penalized for doing their jobs.

More good news for agriculture is that the governor’s Jobs and Transporta on Plan will inject $3 billion into infrastructure projects to help you move your grain and livestock across the state.

The result is that Ohio’s private sector has gone from losing hundreds of thousands of jobs to adding more than 160,000 jobs since 2011. Ohio’s strong agricultural produc on, along with a growing popula on and advances in technology, mean that the job poten al in food and agriculture-related fi elds in this state will only get stronger. The Bureau of Labor and Sta s cs projects jobs for agriculture and food science majors will grow 16 percent between 2008 and 2018. That is good news for our state.

Incredible changes have also been happening at the Ohio Department of Agriculture. Staff members spend a majority of their me and budget to uphold the department’s on-going du es of safeguarding the food supply and protec ng the state’s plant and animal interests. In addi on to those du es, there are several other topics on the forefront of our regulatory agenda, including nutrient management, interstate meat shipment, and implemen ng new du es to protect the public and non-na ve animals through the Dangerous Wild Animals Act.

Those are just a few of the issues that held our a en on in 2012. In the pages of this report, you will fi nd a comprehensive overview of these and other items.

The future of Ohio agriculture is bright and full of opportunity. Ohio agriculture and rural Ohio is about so much more than cows and combines. It is about technology, advances in science and a way to maintain the future of our state.

In the coming year, I look forward to working on your behalf.

Sincerely,

David T. DanielsDirector

2012-2013eventsOhio Agriculture Week

Ohio Department of Agriculture Director David T. Daniels kicked off Ohio Agriculture Week in Ashville by induc ng the Der Decker Baurenhoff Farm into the Ohio Bicentennial Farm program. This farm is the fi rst to be inducted into the program, which was launched in 2013.

The Der Decker Baurenhoff Farm, owned by Bob Fagan, is one of 16 stops Daniels made during Ohio Agriculture Week, March 11-15, to honor local farmers, small businesses for the tremendous economic impact they have on the state.

Ohio Agriculture Week is celebrated each March to help educate Ohioans about the importance of the state’s $105 billion food and agriculture industry, on our dinner plates and beyond.

Ohio Department of Agriculture Director David T. Daniels (le ) presents a Bicentennial Farm cer fi cate to three genera ons of the Fagan family (second from le ): Bob Fagan, Kenneth Smith, Irene Fagan, Ann (Fagan) Smith, Terry Smith, and Eileen Smith.

Dangerous Wild Animals Facility

In 2012, legisla on was passed requiring all owners of dangerous wild animals to register with the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Division of Animal Health. Registra ons were required to be completed by November 5, 2012.

Construc on of a state-of-the art holding facility began in late 2012. The purpose of the building is to hold dangerous wild animals in a secure environment un l appropriate re-loca on arrangements are made. The facility is key for the Ohio Department of Agriculture to uphold new regula ons governing the ownership of dangerous wild animals.

The facility is one-of-a kind, and was built with input from zoos and veterinarians to assure the security of the people caring for the animals and the general safety of people in the surrounding community, while at the same me maintaining the safety and comfort of the animals held in this building.

The new Dangerous Wild Animal facility on the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Reynoldsburg campus helps keep people and non-na ve animals safe.


Governor John R. Kasich and Ohio Department of Agriculture Director Daniels announced the winners for the 2012 “Agriculture is Cool” visual arts contest. Ohio school children enrolled in school or home schooled during the 2011-2012 academic year shared their personal interpreta on of why Ohio agriculture is “cool” for their chance to win concert ckets at the Ohio State Fair.

Agriculture is Cool! at the Ohio State Fair Coopera ve Interstate Meat Shipment Program

For nearly two decades, the Ohio Department of Agriculture has supported the concept of allowing state-inspected establishments to be able to ship their state-inspected products across the state line. As a part of the 2008 Farm Bill, Congress directed U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety Inspec on Service to promulgate changes to the laws allowing selected state establishments to ship their state-inspected products across the state line.

The fi nal rule became eff ec ve in 2011. Department offi cials applied to and began working with the federal government to meet requirements of the regula ons. On August 8, 2012, Director Daniels signed the Coopera ve Interstate Shipment Coopera ve Agreement.

Selected state inspected establishments, as a result of the Coopera ve Interstate Shipment Program, will now be able to ship their products in interstate commerce. The advantage of qualifying for the program is that the establishment will have all of the United States as a market place, while s ll having the same state inspector. Ohio was the very fi rst state in the na on to be accepted into the program and has seven establishments that have been approved.

• One establishment in Cleveland es mates their business at the outset will grow by one million dollars a year and they have more out of state customers wan ng their quality products. The business es mates their business will triple at the start and their products will be distributed to 45 states.

• The Bal c establishment has expanded their facility in an cipa on of what the ability to ship in interstate commerce means for the “backyard fl ock” producer.

Ohio Agriculture Women of the YearOhio First Lady Karen W. Kasich and Ohio Agriculture Director David T. Daniels honored four 2012 Ohio Agriculture Women of the Year Award winners at a recep on at the Ohio Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden: Amy Sigg Davis (Lebanon); Stephanie Jolliff (Kenton); Karen Oberst (Findlay); Bev Roe (Hamilton).

The award program is administered through the Ohio Department of Agriculture and the Offi ce of the First Lady. Nomina ons were reviewed by a diverse commi ee of industry leaders. Winners were selected on the basis of their outstanding contribu ons to Ohio agriculture, leadership and advocacy in the agricultural community and signifi cant impact on the agriculture industry as a whole.

A pain ng produced by 12-year old Samuel Stahl of Fostoria was chosen as the 2012 “Best in Show” entry.

Veterinarians and scien sts in the Animal Health Division help protect the health and safety of Ohio’s livestock and poultry industries. Animal

Health staff members provide quick response in the event of an animal disease outbreak, provide ongoing tests and inspec ons of livestock to verify the absence of disease, and control and eradicate infec ous animal diseases in Ohio.

Staff members license and inspect livestock dealers, weighers, renderers, raw rendering collectors, garbage feeders, and white-tailed deer farms. Staff members also ac vely par cipate in a number of federal coopera ve agreements with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspec on Service and the Food and Drug Administra on rela ve to na onal disease control programs: Johne’s disease, scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, foreign animal disease, exo c Newcastle disease, avian infl uenza, chronic was ng disease, premise and animal iden fi ca on, ssue drug residues, brand registra on program, and exhibi on livestock inspec on and tes ng. Division staff members work closely with the Ohio Poultry Associa on through the Ohio Egg Quality Assurance Program to reduce consumer exposure to Salmonella enteri dis.

The division administers the Animal Disease Diagnos c Laboratory, which provides regulatory tes ng support for disease control programs and full diagnos c

laboratory services for veterinarians, livestock producers and agribusinesses. It is one of 42 accredited laboratories in the United States. As the only American Associa on of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnos cians accredited laboratory in the state of Ohio, the lab operates under guidelines that ensure the quality of personnel, facili es and procedures.

This laboratory serves as a par cipa ng member of the Na onal Animal Health Laboratory Network, providing high-caliber diagnos c tes ng support in a number of animal disease situa ons and provides surge capacity for the na on in the event of a regional or na onal animal disease outbreak.

In 2012, division staff members con nued to enforce Ohio’s fi rst comprehensive set of livestock care standards, which went into eff ect in 2011. These standards are required by Ohio’s cons tu on following the passage of State Issue 2 in 2009. The statewide ballot ini a ve specifi ed crea on of the 13-member Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board with the responsibility of obtaining industry and public input to develop livestock care rules.

The standards apply to all species of livestock raised for food and fi ber, including: swine, poultry, dairy cows, beef ca le, veal, sheep, goats, llamas and alpacas. The care standards also apply to horses, ponies, mules and donkeys.

The standards are prac cal for livestock producers of all sizes and produc on systems. Proper care of livestock, guided by these regulatory standards, further assures the state’s goal of promo ng a safe, aff ordable food supply. The standards govern all aspects of animal care – water, food, handling,

Also in 2012, legisla on was passed requiring all owners of dangerous wild animals to register with the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Division of Animal Health. Registra ons were required to be completed by November 5, 2012.

Following controlling board approval, construc on on a state-of-the-art holding facility began in late 2012. The purpose of the building is to hold dangerous, wild animals in a secure environment un l appropriate re-loca on arrangements are made. The facility is key to the Ohio Department of Agriculture being able to uphold new regula ons governing the ownership of dangerous wild animals.


The Plant Health Division is responsible for enforcing many consumer and public protec on regula ons. Staff du es include tes ng germina on of packaged seeds,

verifying label statements on feed and fer lizers, regula ng plant nursery stock, monitoring the fi nancial stability of grain elevators, registering pes cides, licensing pes cide applicators, inves ga ng pes cide use complaints, and working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal Plant Health Inspec on Service and the U.S. Forest Service to control invasive pest species. The division’s goal is to assure businesses that produce, process and distribute agricultural products provide safe and properly labeled products to consumers.

Pes cide and Fer lizer Regula onThe division’s Pes cide and Fer lizer Regula on Program regulates the use and distribu on of pes cides as well as the manufacturing and distribu on of fer lizer, lime, and agricultural addi ves. This sec on issues licenses to pes cide applicators and serves as the registrar for pes cide and fer lizer companies. Through rou ne inspec ons, staff members enforce the state laws and rules that govern these ac vi es. In addi on to these responsibili es, staff members conduct inspec ons for the U.S. EPA in accordance with a coopera ve agreement to ensure compliance with the Federal Insec cide, Fungicide and Roden cide Act.

In 2012, there were 28,690 licensed pes cide applicators, 14,803 registered pes cide products and 4,498 registered specialty fer lizers in Ohio. Training and tes ng sessions for cer fi ca on and re-cer fi ca on of pes cide applicators were also held throughout the year, helping to assure the safe use of pes cides and preven ng misuse and mishandling.

This sec on also organizes the Clean Sweep Pes cide Disposal Program, holding three regional pes cide collec ons to assist farmers with a safe and environmentally responsible disposal of unusable, outdated pes cides.

Grain, Feed and Seed ProgramThe Grain, Feed and Seed Program licenses and regulates commodity handlers in Ohio; helps assure label claims are accurate on all agricultural, vegetable, fl ower and lawn seeds; and monitors animal feed, including pet food, to make sure claims of protein, fat, vitamins, minerals and an bio cs are accurate.

Licensed grain handlers are required to meet certain net worth requirements, verifi ed by fi nancial statements annually submi ed to the department. Licensed handlers are required to have insurance coverage equal to full-market value on all grain in their facili es to protect all or part of their losses in case of fi re or other disasters. This sec on also administers the state grain indemnity fund, which reimburses eligible farmers when a licensed elevator becomes insolvent.

Plant Health

Inspectors examine records and check produc on facili es for verifi ca on that feeds are manufactured properly. They help assure precau ons are taken to prevent possible cross-contamina on and that feeds are correctly labeled to prevent any prohibited material from being fed to ruminants.

Program staff works with the U.S. Food and Drug Administra on performing inspec ons to help prevent the occurrence of bovine spongiform encephalopathy. The sec on completed another successful year, fi nding no viola ons of these regula ons or any serious viola ons of the U.S. Food and Drug Administra on’s medicated feed regula ons.

Plant Pest ControlOhio’s green industry is one of the highest-value segments of the state’s agricultural sector. The Plant Pest Control Program helps protect the state’s plant nurseries and consumers by performing annual inspec ons to detect pests that pose a threat to plants. This sec on enforces federal and state quaran nes that restrict the movement of ar cles capable of harboring destruc ve pests. It provides inspec ons and phytosanitary cer fi cates for shipments of grain, seed, logs, lumber, greenhouse plants and other agricultural commodi es des ned for other states and foreign markets. The Plant Pest Control staff members also perform exo c pest surveys for destruc ve insects and disease. Early detec on of these pests can increase the likelihood of control and decrease the nega ve impact to growers or the environment. Over the past few years a small twig beetle, na ve to the Southwestern U.S., has been a acking eastern black walnut trees and infec ng the trees with a newly described fungal pathogen of unknown origin causing the disease known as Thousand Cankers Disease (TCD). TCD has been killing black walnut trees in high numbers in Colorado and other western states. In July 2010 this insect/disease complex was found aff ec ng eastern black walnut trees in the Knoxville, TN area and subsequently in Richmond, VA and Bucks County, PA.

Ma Beal, Chief,Plant Health


Working closely with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspec on Service, the Plant Pest Control sec on con nues to support the eff orts to survey, contain and eventually eradicate the Asian Longhorned beetle from southeastern Ohio. Asian Longhorned beetle was discovered in Clermont County in June 2011. This invasive beetle poses a threat to Ohio’s hardwood forests (more than $2.5 billion in standing maple lumber) and the state’s $5 billion nursery industry which employs nearly 240,000 people. Currently there are 61 square miles under quaran ne in Clermont County for the Asian Longhorned beetle.

The European Gypsy Moth is a non-na ve insect threatening our hardwood forest and ornamental plants in Ohio. It will feed on more than 300 diff erent species of trees and shrubs, with oak being its preferred host. Since its accidental release in Massachuse s in 1869, this destruc ve pest has slowly moved westward, reaching Ohio in 1971 when the fi rst male moths were trapped in Ashtabula County. The Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Gypsy Moth Program is part of a na onal integrated pest management program that involves several state agriculture departments along the leading edge of the infesta on and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service.

Traps are placed across Ohio to detect, isolate, and monitor gypsy moth popula ons. Treatments are conducted to suppress, slow the spread of, or eradicate any developing popula ons. Currently 51 coun es in Ohio are under quaran ne for movement of regulated materials.

In the spring of 2012, Plant Pest Control staff worked to contain and trace the source of the fi rst detec on of boxwood blight in a nursery in northeast Ohio. Inspectors worked with the grower to quickly sample, test and isolate the infesta on. Boxwood blight is a disease caused by a fungus that threatens the health and sustainability of boxwood plants which are widely grown and sold as an ornamental in Ohio’s landscapes. This was the fi rst detec on of boxwood blight in Ohio. Since that me no new infesta ons have been discovered.

Because of this threat to Ohio’s Eastern Black Walnut resource, the Plant Pest Control sec on took measures to protect Ohio’s walnut trees by dra ing a quaran ne regula on which took eff ect on September 7, 2012. Walnut materials capable of spreading this pest are now restricted from entering Ohio. U.S. Forest Service es mates rank Ohio as high as second in the volume of standing walnut mber. Walnut is a high value mber species and an important Ohio export.

Over the past few years, the Plant Pest Control sec on collaborated with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry, as well as other federal partners, to conduct surveys and develop plans to respond to the discovery of the harmful pest, hemlock woolly adelgid. This pest was fi rst discovered in Meigs County in January of 2012 and has since been detected in a total of three coun es. Hemlock is an ecologically important tree species and widely present in Ohio’s State Parks and Forests. The department has enacted quaran ne regula ons to a empt to reduce the spread of hemlock woolly adelgid within Ohio.

The Plant Health Diagnos c Lab was conceived, designed, and constructed to meet the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspec on Service-PPQ 526 permit containment specifi ca ons. The lab is versa le and handles viral, bacterial, fungal, oomycete, and nematode pathogens, as well as insect pests requiring containment condi ons. Department staff maintain the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspec on Service 526 permits to receive infected plant material from the con guous 48 states, as well as to receive restricted Phytophthora ramorum and plum pox virus samples. Laboratory staff also maintain cer fi ca on to perform the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s molecular diagnos c assays to detect P. ramorum.

In 2010, the department established the Ohio Plant Diagnos c Network, which is a coopera ve partnership between the

department’s Plant Health Diagnos c Laboratory and The Ohio State University’s C. Wayne Elle Plant and Pest Diagnos c Clinic. This newly established network brings research and regula on together to more effi ciently address Ohio’s plant pest, disease and diagnos c needs; eliminates duplica ve func ons; and increases response effi ciency to pest or disease outbreak. Following the Na onal Plant Diagnos c Network model, this lab off ers remote teaching and diagnos c nodes across Ohio that will facilitate a more rapid response to diseases and pests, as well as provides remote areas of the state access to educa onal opportuni es.

In 2011, the lab added a diagnos c node to the OSU South Centers Research Sta on in Piketon, Ohio, bringing the total number of opera onal nodes throughout the state to eight. The Pike County node will serve the vegetable and forestry industries in the south central and southeast part of the state. In 2012 the department secured funding to equip a node, which helps quickly iden y poten al harmful pests, to serve the state’s nursery industry in northeast Ohio.

In 2012, the lab in Reynoldsburg detected the fi rst incidence of the boxwood blight pathogen, Cylindrocladium pseudonaviculatum, in Ohio. The digital diagnos c node technology facilitated rapid iden fi ca on of the pathogen, confi rma on by USDA, and ini a on of response eff orts in less than twenty four hours.


Safeguarding the Food Supply

Consumer Protec on Laboratory

Dr. Beverly Byrum, Lab Director, Consumer Protec on Laboratory and Animal Disease Diagnos c Laboratory

The Consumer Protec on Laboratory is Ohio’s premier food and agriculture tes ng lab and carries out an important component of the

department’s mission to protect the public. Scien sts test food, feed, fer lizers, pes cides and animal exhibi on and race track samples. The lab houses the offi cial Equine Drug Tes ng Laboratory for the Ohio State Racing Commission. It also is the state’s primary emergency response lab for biological and chemical terrorism in food and environmental products as a member of the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Drug Administra on sponsored Food Emergency Response Network (FERN). Staff members help assure the safety and provides consumer protec on for Ohio’s food supply, agricultural products and animal compe ons and exhibi ons.

The lab analyzes samples origina ng in the food chain - from the farm, through processing and distribu on, to the retail level. Microbiologists test dairy products, raw and processed meat products, vegetables, fruits, drinking water and dairy process water for bacteria that cause foodborne illness. Chemists provide assurance that dangerous pes cides are not present in Ohio food products. They also confi rm the claims made on food and feed labels, evaluate apple juice and cider for Patulin, test maple syrup for lead, and test food samples for extraneous ma er in response to consumer complaints. Regulatory ac on is taken if bacteria or dangerous chemicals are found.


The Analy cal Toxicology Laboratory is the offi cial drug tes ng lab for the Ohio State Racing Commission. Lab staff test samples from horses compe ng at Ohio’s seven commercial race tracks and more than 70 county fairs for prohibited substances under the commission’s medica on and drug related regula ons. This interna onally renowned laboratory provides tes ng on nearly 9,000 horses each year.

The Consumer Protec on Laboratory was awarded three major compe ve federal grants from the Food and Drug Administra on and the U.S. Department of Agriculture for response to foodborne outbreaks, emergency management and to provide capacity for any Food Emergency Response Network-related projects.

The Food Emergency Response Network grant provides funding for method development and surveillance for highly pathogenic agents, such as anthrax, in food. The Consumer Protec on Laboratory also provides cri cal exper se to respond to natural foodborne illness outbreaks or emergencies that are inten onally introduced.

In 2012, Microbiology Laboratory staff detected pathogens in meat and food samples that were subsequequently linked to foodborne illness and mul -state outbreaks. The laboratory isolated Salmonella sp from hot pepper samples that were linked to salsa products which resulted in a mul -state recall in May 2012. The lab isolated Salmonella sp and L. monocytogenes from bagged spinich products in separate instances ini a ng two U.S. Food and Drug Administra on recalls. A U.S. Department of Agriculture recall was ini ated a er lab staff iden fi ed L. monocytogenes in pre-cooked meatballs. In this instance, the pathogen isolate matched the U.S. Department of Agriculture isolates previously on record from sampling conducted at the manufacturing plant. In addi on, staff detected L. monocytogenes from sprouts collected from a Cleveland plant, which resulted in a statewide recall. Lab staff helped inves gate a mul -state Salmonella infan s outbreak related to dog food samples. More than 50 samples were

collected and analyzed; of these,fi ve samples were linked to the outbreak strain. A report on this outbreak was released by the Centers for Disease Control.

Under a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Marke ng Service, lab staff par cipated in the Microbiological Data Program, a na onal program to monitor fruits and vegatables for the presence of pathogenic microorganisms. Under the program, fresh fruits and vegetables are tested for Salmonella, E. coli O157:H7, and pathogenic E. coli using the latest DNA technology.

In 2012, the pes cide residue laboratory staff started screening samples of ground water for newer classes of pes cides. Around 30 samples were analyzed and about one third showed pes cide residues. Upon further examina on, it was found that these residues were below the ac on threshold.

In 2012, chemists in the Consumer Protec on Laboratory provided analysis of exhibi on animals in Ohio’s 94 state, county and independent fairs. This program, administered by the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Division of Animal Health, is one of the most comprehensive programs in the na on for evalua ng exhibi on animals for illegal drugs. These chemists also provided tes ng for exhibi ons in other states.

The Pes cide Data Program, Microbiological Data Program, Microbiology Lab, and the Analy cal Toxicology Lab are all accredited by the American Associa on for Laboratory Accredita on.

Ohio’s Dairy Division helps assure that dairy products produced, transported and processed in Ohio are wholesome and safe for consumers. The division’s

registered sanitarians work daily across the state to provide cri cal services through a series of inspec ons, evalua ons and sampling of raw and pasteurized milk products.

These ac vi es meet or exceed the standards set by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administra on and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Ohio has adopted the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance as the state’s Grade A rules. This ordinance is a model document as it relates to all state regulatory dairy ac vity and allows for dairy products to move in interstate commerce.

Ohio’s Dairy Division staff members play an important role in providing protec on to consumers, producers and processors. For example, every supply of milk coming off a farm is tested for drug residues before being made into a variety of dairy products. Every fi nished product made at all of the processing facili es is tested for bacteria, coliforms, vitamins, standard of iden ty, chemicals, pes cides and water quality. Addi onally, processing plants are inspected quarterly and pasteuriza on equipment is tested quarterly.

Dairy producers also need to pass numerous monthly quality tests that include bacteria, soma c cell counts and water quality. Producers also undergo a rigorous inspec on that is conducted every six months, with addi onal state, U.S.

Department of Agriculture, and Food and Drug Administra on oversight.

Staff members also evaluate and regulate milk hauling. Proper permi ng and evalua ng tanks is cri cal to maintaining safety standards.

In 2012, milk produc on in the state was up 4.1 percent maintaining its rank of 11th in the na on. This level of milk produc on was achieved with 2,000 more milk cows and nearly 20,000 pounds of milk per cow. Ohio also maintained its rank of fi rst in the na on in Swiss cheese produc on.

Small on-farm or ar san dairy produc on con nues to fl ourish. Small processors are making products for farmers’ markets and other retail loca ons, including ice cream, cheese, fl uid milk and Greek yogurts.

Another area of growth in the state is robo c milking machines. By the end of 2012, Ohio had nearly 30 automated milking installa ons. Many more are in the works for 2013. As these facili es develop, division staff members con nue to work closely with manufacturers and the Food and Drug Administra on to ensure safety and compliance.

Ohio’s milk produc on helps support the state’s dairy processing industry.


The Division of Food Safety helps assure consumers are provided foods, over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements and cosme cs that are safe, unadulterated

and honestly presented. Division staff members work toward this goal through regulatory oversight of the wholesale and retail industry and through contracts, partnerships and educa onal ac vi es with federal, state and local food regulatory agencies.

Division staff members work to increase awareness of food defense and assist operators in assessing their vulnerabili es. Representa ves also par cipated in several key emergency preparedness ac vi es, including U lity Radiological Safety Board, A er Ac on Working Group and Ohio Homeland Security Strategic Analysis and Informa on Center mee ngs.

Food Safety Division’s retail staff members con nue to off er training and educa on programs to the local health departments. In 2012, more than 100 trainings and programs were available. These programs addressed farmers’ markets, farm markets, co age food, reduced oxygen packaging, acidifi ed white rice, process reviews, home bakeries and labeling.

Division of Food Safety inspectors also inspect wholesale opera ons, such as bakeries, canneries, snack food and candy manufacturers, water and so drink bo lers, seafood processors and food warehouses. Staff members who inspect wholesale opera ons also perform contract inspec ons for the U.S Food and Drug Administra on and conduct weekly sampling for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Pes cide and Microbiological Data Programs.

Division staff members also conduct a food surveillance sampling program. This includes the rou ne sampling of ready-to-eat-foods and then tes ng for Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella and generic E. coli. The samples collected included fresh produce, deli salads, sandwiches, bo led water, fresh juices, maple syrup and various imported canned food products.

In 2012, in conjunc on with the Ohio Department of Health, Division of Food Safety staff members disseminated 191 food recall no ces to local health offi cials and the public. The recalls, for a variety of food products, were issued based on bacteriological and allergen concerns.

Division of Food Safety staff and the Ohio Department of Health jointly conduct the Retail Food Safety Advisory Council mee ngs. These mee ngs are co-chaired by the directors of agriculture and health with council members represen ng local health departments, the retail food industry, academia and the consuming public. The council serves as a forum to discuss and resolve issues related to Ohio’s food safety program.

Chuck Kirchner, Chief,Food Safety

Seafood is one of many types of foods regulated by the Division of Food Safety.


The Division of Meat Inspec on helps assure that all meat and poultry establishments with a state license are producing safe, wholesome and truthfully labeled

products in a sanitary environment.

Division staff members oversee 281 slaughter and processing facili es. Of those, 207 are fully-inspected facili es, which provide products that are eligible for re-sale within Ohio. The remaining establishments operate under a “custom exempt” status and simply provide a “not-for-sale” service to individuals who wish to have their own animals processed to be consumed by their own families. Division staff members also oversee seven establishments that have been selected for the Coopera ve Interstate Shipment program.

The state’s inspec on approach is centered on an establishment’s performance, incorpora ng the concepts of Hazard Analysis and Cri cal Control Point (HACCP) and Sanita on Standard Opera ng Procedures. The required HACCP procedures make each fully inspected establishment responsible for safeguarding the meat and poultry products they produce. The opera ng procedures help assure the environment in which the establishment operates is maintained in a sanitary manner.

Addi onally, establishments are expected to develop programs for the control of Listeria monocytogenes, programs to control Specifi ed Risk Materials for preven ng Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy in ca le over 30 months of age, E. coli O157:H7 in beef and a variety of other prerequisite programs to support their food safety system.

The explosive growth in the numbers of charter schools, daycare centers and senior meal feeding programs across the state con nues to provide opportuni es for caterers and food service operators to modify their businesses in order to

provide meals to these growing numbers of consumers. The Division of Meat Inspec on is required to inspect such providers if they don’t meet the legal defi ni on of catering. Division staff members provide daily inspec on services to facili es that specialize in meal produc on and con nue to work with other prospec ve facili es to license and enter this market. On the average these facili es produce a total of more than 100,000 meals per day.

The division’s sampling program is a signifi cant tool used to verify that an establishment’s food safety system is working. The division conducts sampling on a wide range of products at a frequency that is comparable to that of the U. S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspec on Service (FSIS). FSIS provides 50 percent of the funding for the program. In 2012, meat samples were analyzed for E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes, all of which are dangerous pathogenic microorganisms and linked to major foodborne illnesses.

For nearly two decades, the Ohio Department of Agriculture has supported the concept of allowing state-inspected establishments to be able to ship their state-inspected products across the state line. As a part of the 2008 Farm Bill, the Congress directed FSIS to promulgate changes to the laws allowing selected state establishments to ship their state-inspected products across the state line.

The Coopera ve Inspec on Programs: Interstate Shipment of Meat and Poultry Product fi nal rule became eff ec ve in 2011. Department offi cials applied to and began working with FSIS to meet the requirements of the regula ons. On August 8, 2012, Department Director David Daniels signed the Coopera ve Interstate Shipment Coopera ve Agreement.

Selected state inspected establishments, as a result of the Coopera ve Interstate Shipment Program (CISP), will now be able to ship their products in interstate commerce. The advantage of qualifying for the CISP is that the establishment will s ll be inspected by the same state inspector, while having all of the United States as a market place, not just Ohio.


Protec ng the Public

Amusement Ride Safety

Gary Hill, Chief, Amusement Ride Safety and Enforcement

Under Ohio law, all amusement rides must be inspected and licensed before opera ng to assure they are assembled, maintained, and

operated in a manner that will minimize the possibility of accidents or injuries to the riding public. The Ohio Department of Agriculture’s Amusement Ride Safety Division inspectors are responsible for the safety and regula on of all Ohio rides. The inspectors evaluate everything from the structural safety and warning signs to general ride opera ons. Inspectors also license go-kart tracks and water parks. Ohio was the fi rst state to enact a Rider Responsibility Act that stresses the consumer’s role in amusement ride safety. The division also assures that midway games of skill and side shows opera ng at all 94 county and independent agricultural fairs and the Ohio State Fair are fair and properly operated.

Ohio is known for the quality and quan ty of its amusement parks. The state is also known for having one of the best ride inspec on programs in the country. The department’s Division of Amusement Ride Safety regulates this industry and helps assure that all rides in Ohio are safe.

In 2012, division staff licensed 252 permanent facili es and amusement parks, 34 go-kart facili es, and 23 water park facili es. Department staff also inspected 392 portable ride companies. Department staff inspected licensed and maintained records on all 3,475 amusement rides and 664 games in the state. By law, all amusement rides must be inspected and

The Enforcement Division provides support for the Ohio Department of Agriculture’s regulatory divisions in gaining compliance with Ohio’s agricultural laws and

regula ons. If a business or a person regulated by the state of Ohio fails to heed state laws and regula ons, the Enforcement Division takes appropriate ac on. This may be in the form of no ces of viola ons, le ers of warning, administra ve ac on, or criminal prosecu ons.

Gaining food safety regula on compliance is especially important because non-compliance can pose a risk to the public’s health or safety. In calendar year 2012 Enforcement Division staff conducted 374 inves ga ons, conducted 470 random reviews/planned compliance inspec ons and embargoed 27,268.95 pounds of misbranded or adulterated products.

The department has entered into a contract with the Ohio Veterinary Medical Licensing Board authorizing enforcement agents to conduct inves ga ons regarding complaints against its licensees in Ohio. The Enforcement Division has been conduc ng these inves ga ons since October 2000.

The Auc oneer Program, housed within the Enforcement Division, oversees Ohio’s 3,268 ac ve licensees. There are fi ve license types: Auc oneer, Appren ce Auc oneer, Special Auc oneer, Auc on fi rm, and Auc on Corpora on, partnership or associa on.

The Auc oneer Program issues licenses, gives license examina ons, and receives and processes complaints against auc oneers. When a complaint is received, the inves ga on is referred to the Enforcement Chief for assignment to an inves gator. Once the inves ga on is complete, the fi le is reviewed.

There have been two major pieces of legisla on passed since the program’s arrival at the Ohio Department of Agriculture. The fi rst established the auc oneer recovery fund and the second was a major overhaul of the auc on law.

Inspectors monitor ride structure and opera ons, structural integrity, electrical safety, hydraulic systems, brakes, tubs, sweeps, warning sign displays, and general ride opera ons are all thoroughly checked. In addi on to inspec ng amusement rides, the division is also responsible, and works to assure the fairness of midway games and side shows at the Ohio State Fair and all 94 county and independent fairs. Annually 7,000 concession inspec ons are conducted during those fairs.

Ohio’s Division of Livestock Environmental Permi ng regulates Ohio’s largest livestock and poultry farms. Inspectors assure the farms follow science-based

guidelines that protect the environment and allow the facility to remain produc ve while managing manure, mortali es, fl ies, rodents and other pests.

As of December 31, 2012, there were 182 permi ed farms in Ohio. In 2012, staff members issued permits to 27 large livestock and poultry farms, including 22 Permits to Install and 27 Permits to Operate. Of those 27 Permits to Operate, 19 were renewal permits. Permits to Operate allow the farms to operate for a period of fi ve years, at which me they are required to apply for a renewal, which is also valid for fi ve years. In addi on, there were 15 Major Opera onal Changes issued to permi ed facili es which authorize construc on or expansion projects. At year-end 2012, there were 26 farms that had pending applica ons that were being processed.

Inspectors conducted 348 inspec ons during 2012. Of this total, 296 were rou ne inspec ons on permi ed facili es, 10 were par al inspec ons and 42 were inspec ons of Cer fi ed Livestock Managers.

Cer fi ed Livestock Manager training is required for those who manage or handle manure at a major concentrated animal feeding facility or anyone who buys, sells, or land applies more than 4,500 dry tons or 25 million gallons of liquid manure a year.

One two-day training session was conducted during 2012. Sixty individuals par cipated on the fi rst day of training and 62 on the second day. During 2012, 34 new Cer fi ed Livestock Manager cer fi ca ons were issued and 58 were recer fi ed. Since the program began in 2004, a total of 191 have received cer fi ca on.

Livestock Environmental Permi ng

Kevin Elder, Chief,Livestock Environmental Permi ng

Ohio Department of Agriculture offi cials are wai ng for a fi nal decision from U.S. EPA on the transfer of federal Na onal Pollutant Discharge Elimina on System (NPDES) permi ng authority. Ohio division staff members developed the fi nal rule revision necessary to transfer the NPDES permi ng authority over Ohio’s large livestock and poultry farms from Ohio Environmental Protec on Agency to the Ohio Department of Agriculture. In consulta on with the U. S. Environmental Protec on Agency, Division staff members iden fi ed the fi nal Ohio statutory revision that was required to meet the requirements of U.S. Environmental Protec on Agency. The statute has been dra ed and is pending passage by the Ohio Legislature.

In 2012, inspectors also responded to 18 complaints (14 oral and four wri en). Of the total, 10 involved manure applica ons, four were complaints about fl ies, two were odor issues, two were complaints about possible manure discharges. Of the 18 complaints inves gated, 14 were found to be unsubstan ated. Sixteen enforcement ac ons were issued in 2012, which included warning le ers, no ces of defi ciencies, and emergency orders. Through outreach and educa on, staff members achieved a 55 percent decrease in complaints from 2011 to 2012.

Permi ed facili es in the Grand Lakes St. Marys watershed are now expor ng over 96 percent of the manure they produce to replace commercial fer lizer on cropland areas outside the watershed.


The Division of Weights and Measures helps to assure consumer confi dence and equity in the marketplace by administering and enforcing all laws pertaining to true

and uniform weights and measures standards. The division works with county and city weights and measures programs to test devices ranging from fuel meters and retail store scanners to vehicle and livestock scales for consistent measuring standards.

Ohio law designates the Director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture as the “State Sealer” of weights and measures. The Ohio Department of Agriculture administers the Metrology Laboratory, which houses the state standards of mass, length and volume. Ohio’s Metrology lab was honored when it received accredita on cer fi cates to the Interna onal Standards Organiza on (ISO) 17025 laboratory standard and successfully underwent an onsite assessment by the Na onal Voluntary Laboratory Accredita on Program to con nue that level of accredita on. Ohio’s Metrology Laboratory is one of only 15 state measurement laboratories in the U.S. to achieve the ISO 17025 level of accredita on, which provides necessary traceability for Ohio manufacturers and other businesses using these metrology services. Ohio boasts one of only four Na onal Type Evalua on Program (NTEP) Laboratories in the na on that test and evaluate new scale designs and technology, keeping Ohio on the cu ng edge of today’s technology. The Ohio lab is also authorized by Canada to test for compliance to Canada’s standards and is one of only two state labs in the na on authorized to test scales for compliance to interna onal standards. The Ohio lab is the only lab in the U.S. authorized to test mul -dimensional devices. Na onal sta s cs released in 2012 show Ohio’s NTEP laboratory con nues to be one of the busiest and most produc ve in the U.S.

Training over 140 county and city weights and measures inspectors and keeping them up to date on new technology used in today’s gas pumps and supermarket scales is a huge task. The Na onal Conference on Weights and Measures made signifi cant changes to the tes ng procedure for scales. In 2012, the Ohio Department of Agriculture provided training regarding these signifi cant issues and other Ohio laws to the state’s 90 local weights and measures offi ces and all inspectors. Training was also conducted for 256 of Ohio’s 495 registered service people, represen ng 65 diff erent scale and meter service agencies. This is done as a means to promote uniform inspec ng and tes ng procedures throughout the state.

Farmland Preserva on

Denise Franz King Execu ve Director, Offi ce of Farmland Preserva on

TThe Offi ce of Farmland Preserva on strengthens the base of the state’s top industry, food and agriculture. Staff members assist farmers and

local offi cials with farmland protec on eff orts and educate the public about the importance of saving Ohio’s valuable farmland. The quality and quan ty of agricultural commodi es produced in our state is dependent upon the land available for farming. Recognizing this fundamental rela onship, the department works to maintain the state’s agricultural heritage while providing food and jobs. During 2012, the Offi ce of Farmland Preserva on reached a milestone by permanently preserving 50,000 acres of farmland through agricultural easements. An agricultural easement is a voluntary, permanent, legally binding restric on placed on a farm. The easement limits the use of the land to predominantly agricultural ac vity. The land remains under private ownership and management and stays on the tax rolls under current agricultural use valua on. The farmland can be sold or passed along as a gi to others at any me, but the restric on prohibi ng non-farm development stays with the land. Agricultural easements may be acquired through purchase or dona on.

When consumers buy Ohio-grown, raised or processed products, they help support local farmers and economies and the state’s mul -billion dollar food

and agriculture industry.

The Markets Division provides marke ng services to Ohio’s food and agricultural sectors to help retain and create jobs and enhance their compe ve advantage in Ohio and the United States. The division has two major program areas: Ohio Proud and Ohio Grape Industries.

Ohio Proud is the state’s domes c marke ng program that promotes Ohio food and agricultural products within Ohio’s borders and beyond. The logo helps consumers iden fy foods that are made in Ohio and grown in Ohio. Ohio Proud supports the state’s goal to provide safe, local foods to consumers and to create new opportuni es for Ohio growers, producers and processors.

In 2012, Ohio Proud had 463 partners. The Ohio Proud mobile kitchen featured local products through cooking demonstra ons over the lunch hour in downtown Columbus. Area chefs prepared recipes with local produce and other products and provided samples to the public.

A 2012 Holiday Adver sing Campaign consisted of web ads which targeted consumers who are interested in local foods and entertainment. Beginning November 20, a four week campaign produced 3,051,663 impressions on the web. During

the campaign, the website had 84.66 percent new visitors in November and 79.03 percent in December.

Holiday videos off ering sugges ons for Ohio Proud themed gi baskets were also created and posted on social media. These gi baskets were then delivered to local radio and television sta ons encouraging them to promote during the holidays. This eff ort started a rela onship with a Columbus television personality who fi lmed stories about Ohio Proud companies and aired them on the local segment of the noon news.

Ohio Proud also increased their presence with social media this holiday season by crea ng a Pinterest page: h p://pinterest.com/ohioproud/. The Ohio Proud Pinterest page off ers recipes, gardening, entertaining and gi ideas using Ohio products. This has been a great opportunity for the program to feature its specialty food and nursery partners.

Division of Markets staff helped implement the Agriculture is Cool! program at the Ohio State Fair. In 2012, fourth grade students and a parent received free admi ance to the state fair and had the opportunity to learn about Ohio agriculture. Students were encouraged to visit various educa onal sta ons on the fairgrounds and then write an essay about why agriculture is cool. Four winning students were presented with $500 scholarships.

those farms, totaling 40,777 acres. Note that in 2012, the Offi ce of Farmland Preserva on did not receive funding to purchase addi onal easements; therefore no landowner applica on period was held.

The Ohio Agricultural Easement Dona on Program allows land owners to donate development rights of their land to the State of Ohio or local governments for the purpose of protec ng produc ve farmland from conversion to non-agricultural use. A total of 53 farms have donated easements to the state, which equal nearly 6,390 acres.

The offi ce expanded the reach of its dona on programs by introducing the Agricultural Easement Dona on Partnership Program in 2012. Under this program, the department encourages local capacity-building by providing local partners (coun es, townships, soil and water conserva on districts and land trusts) up to $3,000 in administra ve costs for the dona on of farms up to 200 acres, with an incen ve of $5 an acre for larger farms.

The Ohio Agricultural Security Area (ASA) Program authorizes one or more landowners of at least 500 acres of con guous farmland to request enrollment into an ASA for a 10-year period. The Offi ce provides technical assistance to farmers and local offi cials. Since 2005, more than 32,022 acres have been enrolled.

The offi ce also provides technical assistance to local boards of county commissioners and boards of township trustees on the Agricultural Security Area Program, and par cipates in the largest statewide gathering addressing farmland protec on, the annual Ohio Farmland Preserva on Summit.

In 2012, the Offi ce renamed its purchase program the Clean Ohio Local Agricultural Easement Purchase Program. Localizing the program has three purposes: 1) to build local capacity by cer fying local sponsors to hold and administer their own local agricultural easement purchase programs; 2) to reduce the administra ve role of the state staff ; and 3) to a ract addi onal federal farmland preserva on funds to Ohio. It went into eff ect for easements purchased in 2013.

Just like its predecessor, the Clean Ohio Agricultural Easement Purchase Program, the new program purchases agricultural easements from interested Ohio farmland owners. Awards are issued for up to 75 percent of the points-based appraised value of a farm’s development rights. A payment cap is $2,000 per acre, with a maximum of $500,000 per farm. All easement transac ons are recorded on the property deed and transfer with the land.

Since the beginning of the purchase program, the Offi ce of Farmland Preserva on has received approximately 2,400 applica ons, and with available funding, preserved 220 of

Seventy-eight farms were recognized by the Ohio Department of Agriculture in 2012 as century farms. Century farm status is awarded to families who have owned the same farm for at least 100 consecu ve years.

To recognize the growing number of farms which have reached their 200-year anniversary, the department unveiled plans for its new Ohio Bicentennial Farm designa on. Sixty-four farms currently registered as century farms will receive the new designa on at their 2013 county fair.

More than 1,000 farms spanning all 88 coun es are now registered as century or bicentennial farms.

Anyone who can verify that a currently-owned farm has remained in their family for at least 100 years may register. For more informa on, visit www.agri.ohio.gov and click on “Promo onal Programs” and then “Century Farm Recogni on”, or call 614-752-9817.

Ohio Century and Bicentennial Farms Program

Ohio Grape Industries

The Ohio Grape Industries Program oversees promo onal, research and produc on funds for the grape and wine industries, as determined by the

Ohio Grape Industries Commi ee.

In accordance with state law, the director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture serves as chairman of the nine-member commi ee, whose ac vi es are funded from a por on of the excise tax on the sale of wine in Ohio.

The program serves as the marke ng and promo onal advocate of Ohio’s grape and wine industries. The program also supports grape growers by funding research and extension programs focusing on vi culture (cul va ng grapes), entomology, plant pathology, and weed science.

Ohio is home to nearly 200 wineries that produce more than 1.1 million gallons of wine per year. Ohio also has more than 1,600 acres of grapes, with Riesling the most widely grown variety.

The commi ee worked closely with the Wholesale Beer Wine Associa on of Ohio, the Ohio Grocer’s Associa on and the Ohio Restaurant Associa on to promote Ohio Wine Month 2012. During June, the industry supported several print and social media adver sing campaigns, as well as par cipated in numerous consumer awareness events. Also a new “Ohio Wine Month” video was also created by the Ohio Department of Agriculture and was posted on the industry home page and the department’s YouTube page.

The Ohio Grape Industries Commi ee, as a part of the industry’s strategic planning process conducted in the fall of

2010, voted to publish a custom Ohio wine publica on – Exploring Ohio Wine Country. The commi ee contracted with Great Lakes Publishing, the publisher of Ohio Magazine and other well-received publica ons, to produce this publica on. Exploring Ohio Wine Country debuted on May 23, 2012 and included the new 2012 Ohio Wine Guide, as well as Ohio wine editorial and adver sements. This magazine helped to create and

market regional iden es (an industry goal from the strategic marke ng plan process) for each of Ohio’s wine regions, including the Appalachian, Canal Country, Capital City, Lake Erie Shores and Islands, Ohio River Valley and Vines and Wines wine regions. There were 150,000 copies of the 40 page, glossy, full-color magazine printed and distributed at various loca ons including conven on and visitor’s bureaus, AAA offi ces, Ohio Department of Transporta on Travel Informa on Centers, hotels and lodging businesses, state parks, wineries, and more. A digital version of the magazine can be viewed at: www.glpublishing.com/digitaledi ons/expohwinecountry2012/index.html.

More than 20 wineries par cipated in the Ohio Grape Industry Commi ee’s cost-share road signage program in 2012. Consistent “Ohio Wine” road signs can now be seen on state routes and highways across the state, making it easier for travelers to locate an Ohio winery.

The Daniels farm was one of 78 farms inducted into the Ohio Century Farm program in 2012. This program honors families who have maintained the same farm for at least 100 years. The Bicentennial Farm program, announced in 2012, recognizes families who have maintained the same farm for at least 200 years.
