Dairy, livestock, and poultry
products are a significant part of
Pennsylvania agriculture. While
several farm shows are held
throughout the Commonwealth, few
concentrate on the needs and issues
of animal housing. The
demonstrations, speakers, and
exhibits at the Animal Housing
Expo will focus on proven, state-of
the-art ventilation, feeding,
watering, manure handling, and
housing systems.
Dairy, livestock and poultry
producers may spend as little as a
few hundred dollars for renovations
or up to several hundreds thousand
dollars for new facilities to provide
adequate housing for their animals.
At the Animal Housing Expo, these
producers will have an opportunity
to investigate available options, talk
with industry experts, and select the
system and services that best meet
their needs.

One program recently estab

al Infrastructure for Sustaining
Agriculture fIUSA), has been
established with a grant from the
W.K. Kellogg Foundation to Penn
State University and the Pennsyl
vania Association For Sustainable
Agriculture (PASA) to bring peo
ple together from the community
to educate leaders, farmers, and
consumers about the importance of
keeping agriculture viable in the
southeastern region of the state.
Penn State and Rodale, for the
purposes of the RISA project,
work through an umbrella organi
zation called the Penn State/
Rodale Center For Sustaining
Agriculture and Natural Resources
in Urbanizing Environments, or
SANRUE.
The grant was awarded in spring
1993. When all is said and done,
RISA will help promote, docu
ment, and disseminate information
gathered from groups representing
agriculture, industry, and com
munities as a whole. Eventually,
the information could be used to
work out a plan to ensure the future
of farming.
“People being willing to some
times just talk to each other is a
barrier.” said Dr. Terry M. Schet
tini, associate director of research
in horticulture at Rodale and RISA
core team member. “Someone
may have information, and if the
other person doesn’t want to listen,
who suffers? Agriculture suffers. ’ ’
