Bloomfield, KY.
Sorry, Ed, there is no way in he** OH has more prime farmland than IA. IA is probably a larger state than OH, and I read somewhere that IA-the whole state, mind you-is 95% tillable. SE OH is surely not classified as prime farmland. Even further north up around Canton, Youngstown, etc. is pretty variable. That leaves a pretty sizable area of excellent soils, but not an area as large as IA.

If you have the stats to prove me wrong, then I will humbly apologize and even say something nice about OSU & BIG 10 football!

I apologize to anyone in SE OH for dissing your dirt. It is just that it is much like the dirt we farm here in central KY, so I pretty much know what it is, and it ain't IA.

From the football rich and dirt poor southeast,
Jack
