About Agriculture and Natural Resources
Dave Mangione, Extension Educator welcomes you to Agriculture in Ross County! Agricultural land use is dictated by the glacial boundaries that cross Ross County. The northern and western portions are glaciated with level to rolling topography and soils that are well-suited to the intensive production of row crops. The southern and eastern portions of the county are unglaciated, with more hilly topography and soils that are better suited for forestry and forage crop production.
