Charles Benner, president of the
state council, likened the growth of
Pennsylvania agriculture to the old
farm deeds that include specific
linear directions plus the throw of
the ax. If you throw a little further,
you own a little more land,” Ben

strong program to preserve these
resources for future generations,”
Casey said.
Singel said you must know that
this administration has a tremend
ous commitment to preserving and
enhancing agriculture. “Agricul
ture produces jobs for 55,000 far
mers who produce $3 billion worth
of products,” Singel said. “One out
of every five Pennsylvania jobs
depends on agriculture. So it is
clear we must maintain an active
focus to preserve opportunities to
enhance agriculture in the state.”
Singel said that 2.2 million Pen
nsylvanians are considered to be
rural inhabitants. This is the largest
rural population of any state in the
nation. “We are very serious about
our commitment to agriculture. It
is more than just a slogan. It is a
practical approach to an industry
that really is the backbone of Pen
nsylvania’s economy,” Singel
concluded.
Special recognition was given to
the following firms who donated
food items for the legislative food
