KEEP Ohio
GROWING

Glyphosate-based pesticides are Ohio farmers’ #1 tool to control weeds, keep yields high, and implement conservation practices that use less land and resources.

These products are integral to producing corn and soybeans, helping Ohio farms compete in an increasingly challenging global market and ensuring a robust and affordable food supply.

Agriculture contributes over $15B to the state’s economy, and Ohio farmers are the backbone of that activity.

Ohio farmers rely on pesticides to grow their crops and keep yields high, bolstering domestic food production and ensuring we have enough to eat.

Up to 40% of crops are lost to pests and diseases each year. Without pesticides, losses could be as high as 85%.
As a top-10 producer in the nation of corn and soybeans, Ohio farmers depend on glyphosate for successful harvests. 95% of soybean and 56% of all corn acres in Ohio rely on glyphosate.

Glyphosate helps keep Ohio farmers competitive in global markets.

Glyphosate saves Ohio farmers an estimated $307.2M annually compared to traditional tilling methods and pricier alternatives. Those savings go right back into Ohio’s economy and ensure we don’t pay higher prices at the grocery store.

Glyphosate helps keep grocery prices affordable.
