Agriculture Secretary Samuel
E. Hayes Jr. hailed Gov. 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.
Ridge’s budget calls for plan
ning and implemantation grants
which will provide funds for farm
ers to prepare certified plans.
“This public policy will help pro
tect a person’s opportunity to farm
and help protect a neighbor’s wa-

ter supply." 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.

Fann Show Complex are recom
mended to receive an increase of
$38,000, along with FFA pro
grams.
“These competitive expositions
and activities are important for our
livestock producers andn for our
youth to promote their animain
and increase their market value,”
Hayes noted. Agricultural re
search initiatives also are part of
the budget, with $3 million pro
posed. This is an increase of
$500,000.
“New and effective research is
fundamental in helping the agri
cultural community meet the chal
lenges of profitability as we pre
pare for the next century,” Hayes
said.
New research projects would
explore the suppression of agricul
tural odors, new nutrient-manage
ment systems and a market analy
sis of export opportunities for
agricultural products and services
produced in Pennsylvania.
