Brown Announces Northeast Ohio Agriculture Innovation Center Operated by The Ohio State University | U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) announced the Northeast Ohio Agriculture Innovation Center (NEO-AIC), operated by The Ohio State University, which will operate as a “one stop shop” for all value-added agriculture producers in Northeast Ohio, including: business development support; organizational assistance including connections to financial, legal, technical, and regulatory advice; and value chain coordination services. The NEO-AIC will also bring on the nation and the region’s first Amish and Plain Community Liaison to provide technical assistance to the Amish community in Northeast Ohio. This investment was awarded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agriculture Innovation Center Program.
“The Northeast Ohio Agriculture Innovation Center will help grow local small businesses and support local food production in Northeast Ohio,” said Brown. “When we give Ohio farm and food businesses more tools to sell their products, we can strengthen local supply chains, bring down prices, and allow small producers to better compete with large corporations.”
Brown is the first Ohio senator to serve on the Senate Agriculture Committee in more than 50 years. As a committee member, Brown successfully secured a number of provisions in the 2018 Farm Bill, including permanent mandatory funding for USDA’s Value-Added Producer Grant Program and the reauthorization of the Agriculture Innovation Center Program. Brown has continually led bipartisan efforts to further increase investment in the Value-Added Producer Grant Program.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — A Central Ohio family has filed a lawsuit against a Hilliard funeral home after their mother was accidentally cremated, despite plans for her to be buried.
According to court documents, Tidd Funeral Home cremated Nancy Anders in June of last year against the family’s wishes. The lawsuit states Anders died a week earlier in May.
The family says Anders had planned and prepaid for funeral arrangements two years before her death to be buried with her late husband. The arrangements did not include cremation because, the family says, she did not believe in the concept.
The lawsuit says the family was told a week after her death that she had been accidentally cremated. It also accuses Tidd Funeral Home of cremating her even though the proper authorization form was never signed.
The family says they have suffered physical illness and emotional trauma and are seeking $25,000 in damages. They are also asking for the case to be decided by a jury.
ABC 6 reached out to the funeral home for comment but had not heard back.
