Dale Minyo is the most widely recognized farm broadcaster in Ohio, well known for his continuous promotion of Ohio agriculture.
Dale’s responsibilities include Ohio Ag Net farm programming along with sales for Ohio Ag Net and its affiliate stations.

Raised on a 157-acre poultry and cow-calf farm in northwest Noble County near Cumberland, Dale’s experiences in 4-H and FFA are the foundation for his love of agriculture.
