for PA ag promotion
Ag Progress Days had something for everyone including the
littlest of farmers. Jason Martin, 16 months, finds these
young goats quite interesting. Jason is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jack Martin, Waynesboro.
Hallowell said that the program,
which uses a special logo and the
slogan to identify Pennsylvania
products, is an example of the
cooperation needed in agriculture
to improve marketing efforts. He
said, “Through the use of the
We’re Growing Better logo and
through special promotions both at
the processing and retail level,
consumers are getting a better
idea of the great quantity and
diversity of food needs that can be
met by Pennsylvania companies.”
“As consumer demand increases
for these Pennsylvania products,
our agriculture related businesses
will have the incentive to expand,
creating jobs, cutting tran
sportation and enery costs, and
boosting the local economies,”
Hallowell noted.
“These firms, and the 110 other
companies throughout the state
now using the logo are to be
commended for their public spirit
and for their determination to
work with us to improve economic
development efforts in Penn
sylvania’s rural communities,”
Hallowell said.
The firms which will receive
certificates of recognition are:
