Ag Promotion Committee
About
The State Agriculture Promotion Committee is a resource to assist county Farm Bureaus in the development of promotional programs and activities aimed at educating others about agriculture.
This committee works alongside the PA Friends of Ag Foundation to better advocate on behalf of agriculture.
County Farm Bureaus are asked to form Agriculture Promotion Committees to promote agriculture at the county level.
The committee organizes its annual TASK Conference in early spring to help Farm Bureau members to tell their story.
