New Agricultural Product Opportunities

Huron County Economic Development has detailed business plans, with market research and financial projections, for five business opportunities in the agriculture and agri-value add sectors.

We want to connect with farmers who are interested in diversifying or are seeking additional income streams on their farm. Many of these opportunities are appropriate uses for marginal land on your farm. Virtual information sessions are being held for each of the opportunities in February and March, featuring staff and outside experts.
