- Manufacturing: Manufacturing is the most important economic activity in Ohio and
has made Ohio one of the most important manufacturing states. Virtually all of Ohio's manufacturing
activity is within the transportation segment. Ohio assembles automobiles and trucks and also makes
parts for those motor vehicles and for aircraft. Ohio's second-ranked manufacturing
activity is in the production of fabricated metals (structural metal, metal stampings for automobiles,
tools and hardware, valves and pipe fittings). Chemical production ranks third with Ohio producing soaps,
industrial chemicals and paints and varnishes. The largest soap factory in the country is located in Ohio.
- Agriculture: Ohio has a strong manufacturing base, but it's also a leader in the
production of soybeans, its largest crop, and corn. Other field crops are hay, oats, popcorn and wheat,
much of it for livestock feed. The leading livestock product in the state is milk. Beef cattle are also
raised in Ohio and the state is a leading producer of hogs. The famous Poland China hog was developed
in Ohio. Sheep are raised in the state, for mutton and wool. Ohio is the biggest wool-producing
state east of the Mississippi River. Ohio is also one of the leading egg-producing states. Other livestock
products are turkeys and broilers (5-12 week-old chickens). The fruit crop in Ohio is also important.
Apples are grown as well as grapes, peaches and strawberries. The largest vegetable crops are cucumbers,
potatoes, sweet corn and tomatoes, but cabbage, celery, lettuce, peppers and snap beans are also grown.
