The theme of this year’s show is “Ag Science Touches Your Life”, and features a host of activities covering all aspects of agricultural science and technology. But there are still plenty of for age related events to wet your appetite. One traditional event, of course, is the PFGC-sponsored Pennsylvania Quality Hay Show. You’re invited to send in or bring in a sample or samples of your best hay forjudging and analysis. Samples should be at least 8” to 10” thick, larger is better, and must be delivered to the Hay Show Tent by 10 a.m., Tuesday, August 13.

Pasture/Grazing Field Day-August 27 And if you’re interested in the latest in pasture production and management you won’t want to miss the PFGC sponsored Pasture/ Grazing Field Day scheduled for August 27 at Penn State. Research and extension specialists in Agro nomy and Dairy and Animal Sci ence have teamed up for what is sure to be an exceptional educa tional experience. Activities will get underway about 9 A.M. at Penn State’s Agricultural Arena and will include, in addition to several outstanding speakers, bus and wagon tours to both the Dairy Grazing and Beef and Sheep Grazing research studies. And regardless of your livestock enter prise you’ll have a great opportun ity to exchange ideas and experi ences with other producers switching back to grazing. As is true with Ag Progress Days, admission is free for this event. However, there will be a nominal charge at the door for lunch and refreshments and you are urged to sign up ahead of time. Again, your local county agent or Extension Forage Specialist Mar vin Hall at Penn State has all the details. Annual Forage Conference- And while it’s still nearly four months away, and is not a field day, I can’t miss this chance to remind you that PFGC’s Annual Forage Conference is scheduled for November 26 at the Lancaster Host Conference Center, Lancaster. We’ve added several now fea tures to this year’s conference, including Hay Bale Judging and a small trade show, as well as a great lineup of speakers. You’ll hear much more about this conference in the months ahead. But it isn’t too early to get the date on your calendar.
