Greetings –</p>

We have a forthcoming bulletin that is in the final review stages, but opening dates are approaching quickly for our farmers focusing on the fall season. Thus, we’ve written a general guidance article on beginning conversations with county health departments
to get the ball rolling for those farms who have not yet spoke with their health departments. We’ve also linked the Responsible RestartOhio requirements for the four areas that most affect our agritourism industry in Ohio. These will be a good start to help
Ohio farmers get their plans in place. We hope to have a final bulletin to share with you and Ohio farmers in the coming days. Until then, please direct them to the article at this link:</p>

Additionally, farmers can subscribe to the Ohio Ag Manager blog – the site the article is posted on – to be updated when the bulletin is posted and where we will post updates from the state of Ohio, CDC and others.</p>

in the gloves.</p>
