be that ejaculated
the Farm Show from
begining to end and
invaded almost every
conversation was left
unanswered. “No
department is any more
important than any
other,” Ridge said. “I
gotta do this right I
have a chance to put
together an all-star team
from foul line to foul
line. I’m going to take
my time. It’s more
important that I do it
right than do it quickly.
“I am involved and
will continue to be
involved not only at the
secretary level but also
at the deputy secretary
level. The ag secretary
will not be named until
after the inauguration,”
Ridge said.
And if Ridge had any
idea who the new ag
secretary might be, he
wasn’t saying. ‘There
are many qualified indi
viduals around the com
monwealth to serve as
ag secretary,” Ridge
said. “One of the chal
lenges I have had is to
go through and give
each recommendation
that has been made an
honest individual atten
tion. The ag secretary
needs to understand and
fully appreciate the
many dimensions of
production agriculture
and agribusiness. The
ag secretary needs to
understand and share
my view that we not
only need to promote it,
we need to market it.
I’m big oq exports. The
ag secretary will have to
share that commitment
and vision and under
stand that ag is big busi
ness in Pennsylvania
and appreciate the
potential of economic
development in the ag
sector.
‘This place (the Farm
Show building) is a fun
damental asset, an
incredible facility with
16 acres under roof,”
Ridge said. “It shows
the very best of agricul
ture, a very high point of
Pennsylvania’s eco
nomy, not only to Pen
nsylvanians but to the
rest of the world. This
show in such an envi
ronment is a real plus for
Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania has yet to

have traveled around
Pennsylvania visiting

There is nothing wrong
