The Land In Richland County

Description

Agriculture remains the largest economic driver in Ohio and in Richland County, however, we don't talk about it often; but Ken Ruprecht does! Ken has been involved in the business of farming all his life. His experiences, going back to the early 50’s, range from milking cows by hand to riding the work horse while his Dad cultivated his crops on a small farm in Cuyahoga County. Today Ken and his wife, Marilyn, have concentrated on dairy for the last 25 years and milk about 130 cows (soon to expand to more than 200) in Knox County, Ohio. Their farm of 320 acres includes raising hay, corn, soybeans and helping to raise 5 grandsons and a granddaughter.

Ken has a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Education from the Ohio State University and spent five years teaching Vocational Agriculture. Ken has been actively involved with Farm Bureau, Ohio Dairy Producers Association, The Soil and Water Conservation District and as a Township Trustee.
