ROCKSPRING (Centre Co.)
Forty years ago, in 1960, the Penn
sylvania Grassland Council, which
later became the Pennsylvania
Forage and Grassland Council
(PFGC), was formed by a group of
farmers, industry representatives,
and educators with a single vision:
“working together for better forage
programs.”
The PFGC was the first state
forage and grassland organization
in the U.S. Its formation served as a
model for the other 34 councils that
have formed in the U.S. and

The trials, tribulations, and suc
cesses of the first council’s 40-year

documented in a book by John

formation of the PFGC and follows
the journey of both grassland agri
culture and the PFGC through
present day.
To recognize this proud 40-year
history, the PFGC is planning an
anniversary celebration on Wednes
