use of the land. The complexity of
farm management will be illus

including the inputs and outputs of
today’s farms.
You’ll see how the dairy indus

nsylvania soils and how Penn Slate
researchers are helping develop
better agricultural management
practices to protect our water
supply.
Exhibits show how Penn State is
working with farmers, and seed
and feed suppliers to improve plant
breeding and genetics, plant nutri
tion, tillage and planting methods,
pest management procedures, crop
storage methods and facilities,
management of forage crops and
feed quality and ration
development.
