Simply Delicious, for the vegetable and fruit growers, the annual international agriculture celebration known as AGRO, trade missions, and commodity promotion. County fairs, the All-American Dairy Show and the Keystone International Livestock Exposition will receive increases so Pennsylvania can be a leader in providing strong agricultural expositions, said Secretary Hayes. Funds for critical equipment upgrades will make it possible for us to continue our efforts to improve the infrastructure at the Department of Agriculture so we can better serve the agriculture industry, Secretary Hayes said. Pennsylvania agriculture is productive and provides the best public food programs in America though initiatives such as the state food-purchase program, which receives a proposed increase. This is good for those in need and it is good for our farmers who sell the food, Secretary Hayes said.
Stray voltage is a concern of the dairy industry.
The proposed budget contains funds to seek a response to this problem, Secretary Hayes said. Whether you consider important themes like tax cuts and education or specific things in agriculture, this budget provides an excellent fiscal base for the Legislature to begin lawmaker deliberations. For sure, the Governor s proposed budget is a reach for greatness. And our state legislature is supportive of agriculture. So, I am very pleased and optimistic as we approach the upcoming fiscal year.
