In 1996, the members approved By-Laws changes permitting the formation of councils. This strategy has produced a large, strong association representing members across the full spectrum of Pennsylvania agribusiness. In 1997, the Pennsylvania Agronomic Products Association merged with PennAg and became the first official council - the PennAg Agronomic Products Council. The Pork Council represents that commodity group. Each Council has Board representation.
Members receive a variety of services.
Members also receive 12 issues of the PennAg Journal , the biennial PennAg Directory and other informational mailings. PennAg also has a scholarship fund to provide assistance to the children of our industry's employees. Grants are awarded on the basis of scholarship and need. Organized in 1878, the Pennsylvania State Millers Association served to promote and protect the business interests of members. In 1931, the association's name was changes to The Pennsylvania Millers and Feed Dealers Association to extend services to the newly emerging feed industry.
