Ag research projects approved
HAKRISBURG -
Agriculture Secretary Kent
Shelhamer has announced
the approval of eight new
agricultural research
projects totalling $163,748.
The approval came from the
nine-member Agriculture
Research Committee
chaired by Secretary
Shelhamer with funding
from a $400,000 allocation
from horse and harness
racing revenues.
Shelhamer said that the
committee had approved
four new projects totalling
$85,936, and had approval
pending additional executive
authorization for four more
projects totalling $77,810.
Shelhamer noted that earlier
in the year, the committee
had approved 12 continuing
research projects at a total
cost of $304,430.
He explained that the four

provisional projects would
be funded if the governor
gave his approval to spend
the balance of revenues from
the past year which
remained in the research
fund revenues.
The new projects had been
discussed at the March 24
meeting of the committee
and were approved at the
May 12 meeting, in
Harrisburg. Shelhamer said
that these research projects
become more valuable each
year, as the need for new
developments in scientific
agriculture become evident
as a way for farmers to meet
continually rising consumer
demands for high quality
products.
Shelhamer said that four
projects went to Penn State,
three to the University of
Pennsylvania and one jointly
between the Pennsylvania
