Why did the British want to expand their control into the Ohio valley in the mid-1700s

In North America, Great Britain and France both claimed the Ohio River Valley. British settlers wanted to farm the rich soil there, and the French wanted to trap beavers and trade the furs. Great Britain and France could not agree about which country should control these lands.
