HARRISBURG - State
Agriculture Secretary Penrose
Hallowell says Agriculture Day, a
nationwide celebration of
agriculture’s successes, is im
portant to all Pennsylvanians.
"Agriculture today produces
more than just income and jobs for
farmers, it accounts for a
significant part of both rural and
urban areas’ income and jobs,”
said Hallowell. "Agriculture Day
is a day to increase public
awareness of agriculture’s
economic impact.
"Farming has always been a
family business in the Com
monwealth. For 300 years, our
farm families have been the focal
point of the state’s economic
growth. Agriculture is now the
state’s number one industry for the
second year in a row, generating
$5O billion in economic activity.”
One out of five Pennsylvania
workers 900,000 people - are
employed by agriculture.
Nationally, approximately 23
million are employed by' the in
dustry.
The food and agriculture ac
counts tor 20 percent of our Gross
National Product and agricultural
exports have become a primary
factor in limiting our national
trade deficit farm exports paid
for almost half the cost of im
porting petroleum products last
year. Pennsylvania has been in
creasing its exports with the help
of the Pennsylvania Department ot
Plain, or safety
