Gov. Shapiro stops by the Farm Show
Governor Josh Shapiro and Department of Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding tour the 2025 PA Farm Show during Public Officials Day and highlight the Shapiro Administration’s investments to make Pennsylvania a hub of agricultural innovation and ongoing work to deliver for our farmers. Agriculture is a key driver of Pennsylvania’s economy — more than 53,000 farms across the Commonwealth support over 600,000 jobs and contribute $132 billion to our state's economy. Last fall, the Governor announced a first-of-its-kind in the nation $10 million Agricultural Innovation Grant Program which aims to fund cutting-edge solutions and technologies that will shape the future of agriculture, starting in the Commonwealth.
HARRISBURG, DAUPHIN CO. (WOLF) — Governor Shapiro stopped by the Farm Show Wednesday afternoon – highlighting the administration’s investments in strengthening Pennsylvania agriculture.
During his first two years in office, the Governor focused on sustainability, adapting to new technology, preserving farms, and mitigating avian flu.
His economic development strategy places agriculture at the forefront of the Pennsylvania economy.
"I believe we need to make more investments in our farmers. I am serious when I say we need to give our farmers the same access to capital that we would give a start-up in some other industry," says Governor Josh Shapiro (D-Pennsylvania)
The farm show runs until Saturday, January 11th.
