Economic Impact
Research-Based Impacts
Soybean ($837M)
Research products:
value-added products, high yield,
disease resistant, high quality varieties
Impacts:
• $191 million in annual valueadded output
• $67 million in income for Ohioans
• 4,030 jobs in Ohio
Research-Based Impacts
A 1% increase in agricultural output
achieved through Extension
programming results in:
•$149 million output
•$29 million in income for Ohioans
•2,712 jobs in Ohio
11.7% of Ohio’s youth participate in 4-H;
if just 5% of those receive a bachelor’s
degree, the increased annual earnings
for the group is $220 million
