Michalak concluded the meeting
by discussing the “Continuing
Challenge of the 80’s” and was
optimistic for local agriculture in
1983. The positive economic signs,
but more importantly the con
tinuing aggressive promotion of
agriculture at all levels and the
striving for excellence in quality of
goods marketed, would provide for
the continuance of agriculture as
the Keystone of Pennsylvania’s
economy.
