Answer
A green corn field against a blue, cloudy sky. A tan cow looking at the camera behind a wire fence with pasture, other cows, trees, and an overcast sky in the background. A forest with a lush, green floor and trees in full leaf.

Roughly 14 million acres of land are used for farming in Ohio, about 53% of the land across the state. Those 14 million acres used for agriculture are split into four types: 78% is used for crops, 11% is woodland, 9% is pastureland, and 2% is used for other agricultural practices. Over the last 10 years, land used for agriculture in eastern Ohio has increased, while western Ohio has seen an overall decrease.
