Tom Ridge’s 1998-99 budget request as a strong indication of the Ridge Administration’s support for Pennsylvania agriculture. ’Gov. Ridge’s recommendation makes for the best agriculture budget in many years. The Gover nor has advanced initiatives that will allow Pennsylvania’s produc ers and agri-businesses to be suc cessful at home and competitors in the global economy.” Hayes said. proposed budget will signi ficantly increase our ability to meet the needs of our agricultural community as well as ensure the safety of our citizens and their en vironment.” Hayes noted that Gov. Ridge recommended more than $3 mil lion to support the implementation of nutrient-management regula tions, which took effect Oct 1. Nutrient-management plans man age animal wastes in a manner that is economically and environment ally feasible.

Hayes said. There has been a $432,000 increase in funds for agricultural promotion, education and exports, including support for internation al-trade events. “Exports are an important and growing part of Pennsylvania’s agricultural economy. The increased level of support will provide the tools to successfully compete on a global scale and to promote Pennsylvania’s agricul tural products around the planet,” Hayes said. He noted the value of Pennsylvania agricultural exports is more than $976 million. An additional $lOO,OOO has been proposed for die school cafe teria food-safety program, and to expand training in food safety for school personnel and others who provide food to the public. An other food-safety component of Ridge’s request is for a bottled water protocol. Livestock, open dairy, junior dairy and 4-H shows held at the Horse Barns, Equipment Sheds, Etc.
