Bl4—Lancaster Fanning, Saturday, July 31,1982
LANCASTER We’re number
one! Pennsylvania, supported by
61,000 family farms, is the top
ranked state in the nation in food
processing.
According to latest reports from
the Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture, Pennsylvania is now
ranked first in the nation in the
August
Food Products Month
HARRISBURG A major effort
to increase consumer awareness
and promote sales of Pennsylvania
food products was announced by
State Agriculture Secretary
Penrose Hallowed, recently.
“August has been designated as
Pennsylvania Food Products
Month,” he said. “The state’s
agriculture, agribusiness and
related food industries will be
joining to promote Pennsylvania
foods across the state in retail
stores, farm markets, malls, fairs
and special events.”
Hallowed said this was the first
time such an effort has been
planned to promote ad Penn
sylvania food products at one time.
“The ‘We’re Growing Better’ logo
campaign is gaining recognition
among consumes and the industry
adke,” he said. Pennsylvania
agriculture is a $25 billion industry
which plays a major role in our
efforts to boost economic
development.
According to Hallowell,
“Representatives of our
agricultural industries suggested
CONVERT WASTE
INTO CASH
Waste products oh your farm have the potential
energy to produce electricity. This power can be used
to operate your farm and you can sell your surplus to
the Power Company!
This generator set will run on gas derived from:
• Poultry Manure
• Cow Manure
• Pig Manure
• Wood Chips
We build switch gears that enable you to sell power
to the power company automatically, when you have
surplus, and automatically draw from the power
company when you need it.
