Pennsylvania Farm Show January 11-16, 1992 Farm Show Complex Harrisburg, Pennsylvania Dear Friends of Agriculture: I would like to extend this cordial invitation to you and your family to attend the 76th Pennsylvania State Farm Show in Harrisburg, January 11-16. Agricul ture is the pride of Pennsylvania and the Farm Show is the pride of Pennsyl vania Agriculture. Pennsylvania has good reason to be proud of its agricultural community, the leading force in our economy for 300 years. Our 53,000 farm families are some of the most productive in the world. Cash income from farm marketings in 1990 was $3.78 billion, a six percent increase over the previous year. Agricultural ex ports from the Keystone State were up agam last year and now total $315 mil lion annually. In addition, agriculture stimulates $3B billion in economic activity and pro vides jobs for 20 percent of the state's workforce. The incredible efficiency and productivity of Pennsylvania's farmers and agribusinesses have kept the indus try number one. The Farm Show is part of Pennsylvania's rich agricultural heritage. Not only is it the premier showcase of this great industry, it's also the largest indoor agri cultural exposition in the country, and it's free! As an educational forum, the Farm Show has been instrumental in keeping farmers and consumers abreast of advances made in agriculture. As a market ing forum, the show gives farmers a chance to compare equipment, services and supplies, while providing agribusiness with an opportunity to develop new markets. As a social and planning forum, it offers agricultural organizations a perfect location to meet during the week to discuss key issues and plan for the future. The State Farm Show is committed to exhibiting the best that agriculture has to offer and exhibitors will be handsomely rewarded for their efforts this year. To attract top quality agricultural products and livestock, a record $ 198,266 in premiums is being offered this year. The Farm Show has come a long way since 1917, with $735 in premiums and 440 entries. This year's show is geared toward family more than ever. The show opens to the general public on Saturday instead of Sunday for the first time in its 75-year history. It closes on Thursday instead of Friday. The schedule has been totally revised fof this show because of the change in days. If you are involved in competition or you have a favorite breed you like to see judged, please check the new schedule. I hope you will be able to join us this year as we pay tribute to our number one industry and the farm families who keep it number one.
