The origins of this family can be traced to the small farming and livestock-raising village of Fuente Obejuna, 58 miles northwest of the city of Crdoba in the arid meseta (highland plateau) of Andaluca, Spain.

• Celebrating Animal Agriculture

One week ago we celebrated National Agriculture Week and noted that the single, largest industry in the United States and Ohio is agriculture. To take that statistic from the macro to the micro -- agriculture is also the largest industry in Wayne County. Additionally, one segment of that industry -- livestock, is the specific largest industry in the county. The most important statistic: this largest local industry is 100 percent family-owned and operated. Last year gross cash receipts of livestock farms in the county exceeded $145,000,000. When you couple those gross receipts with other information you begin to visualize the full economic impact of livestock farming in this county.
