Grant Overview
Ohio's Christmas tree industry is characterized by a diverse range of tree species and farm sizes, with 1,000 tree farms across the state. To promote local varieties, Ohio will support research into tree characteristics and marketing strategies that highlight the benefits of Ohio-grown trees. Ohio's workforce composition, with a strong presence of manufacturing and agricultural workers, provides a solid foundation for supporting the tree farming industry. Unlike Michigan applications, Ohio requires demonstration of collaboration with agricultural experts and marketers to develop successful promotional campaigns. Ohio's Agricultural Workforce shows that many farms struggle with labor shortages, making workforce development a key priority. Eligible applicants include universities, research institutions, and nonprofit agricultural organizations. Application requirements include detailed research plans and demonstration of collaboration with industry partners. Funding will support research into sustainable practices and marketing strategies that drive consumer interest and sales. By collaborating with agricultural experts and marketers, the program aims to create successful promotional campaigns that resonate with Ohio consumers, boosting local economic activity. Key funding priorities include supporting research into Ohio's unique tree varieties and developing marketing strategies that highlight the state's agricultural heritage. With 40% of Ohio's tree farms located in areas with high poverty rates, this funding can help drive local economic development. Ohio's tree farming industry is concentrated in the northeastern part of the state, where the economy has been impacted by declines in traditional manufacturing industries. Ohio's Rural Infrastructure shows that many rural areas where tree farms are located struggle with limited access to broadband and transportation infrastructure.
