The Ohio Small Grains Marketing Program (OSGMP) Board works to improve wheat production, wheat qualities and to strengthen markets for wheat in Ohio as well as wheat export markets.
In partnership with the Ohio wheat, barley, oats and rye checkoff, OSGMP dollars support educational programs in the state. The Ohio State University is researching ways to eliminate head scab and mycrotoxins, searching for new wheat varieties to grow in the state, and continuing to market Ohio has a leader in soft red winter wheat production. OSGMP funds such research programs at OSU to create better crops and open new markets.
