Ohio Livestock Coalition

In Columbus, the Ohio Livestock Coalition is a professional organization representing Ohio's livestock and poultry farming community. It works with farmers, allied members, and livestock and grain farm organizations to share information and advocate on issues related to animal agriculture and food production. The coalition provides education on environmental responsibility, animal health and well-being, food safety, and community involvement. Its voluntary LEAP program helps livestock farms identify and prevent environmental risks, follow state and federal regulations, and apply practices for manure management, water protection, and erosion prevention. LEAP serves farms of all sizes and livestock species. OLC also represents agriculture's interests to stakeholders and addresses proposed legislation. Its outreach includes information about the social and economic role of agriculture in Ohio.
