Tom Shows His Support for PA's Ag Industry

Today Tom released his Agriculture policy paper, "Supporting Pennsylvania's Strong Agriculture Community" during a tour and lunch at Myerose Farm in Elizabethtown.  While he was there he also announced his Farm Families for Corbett coalition.  

It was a great morning for a farm visit and Tom received a very warm welcome from host Kenny Myer and more than 75 other members of the local agriculture community.  

Agriculture is the number one industry in PA, we are home to more than 63,000 farms with 98 percent of those farms being family owned. They are strong businesses that supply food and resources not only within PA but also to people around the world.

As Governor, Tom would support PA's ability to expand and grow its agricultural presence both nationally and around the world, and Tom believes it is time to harness that potential and make agriculture a cornerstone of Pennsylvania's economic recovery.  

Thank you to everyone who came out to meet Tom and support our Agriculture community!
