Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Dennis Wolff said the awards emphasize how the agriculture industry is incorporating cutting-edge technologies and the many ways agribusinesses are infusing the state’s economy with jobs and capital investments while contributing to a safe food supply.

Daney Jackson, director of Penn State Cooperative Extension said the award, in part, is an acknowledgment of extension’s contributions to making Farm Show a success.
