Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Secretary, Russell Redding spoke to our Wednesday evening club at Battlefield Brew Works. There were about 25 people in attendance, which included Rotarians and guests. Several leaders from the farming community attended. Mr. Redding told us about the various challenges to farmers in PA, new market trends and some of the strategies that farmers are using to increase their market share. It was very informative and well-received.
Mr. Redding also answered questions related to laws and regulations in farming and also apple distribution.
