Penn State’s Ag Progress Days Features Commercial Exhibits, Field Demos

The latest in farming products, services, equipment and technology will be on full display during this year’s Ag Progress Days.

The agricultural expo, hosted by Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, will take place Aug. 12-14 at the Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs, Centre County.

Show Manager Jesse Darlington said this year’s expo is shaping up to be one of the best, featuring hundreds of commercial and educational exhibits, as well as various field demonstrations and workshops — all designed to help producers maintain and enhance productivity, sustainability and profitability.

“Ag Progress Days is all about celebrating how far agriculture has come and where it’s headed,” said Jesse Darlington, show manager. “It’s a chance for folks to see how Penn State’s research and extension work is helping to create real, positive change. We’re thankful for the support we get from farmers, ag professionals and our local communities.”

Video: Grains on Tap | Episode 1: MP Branden Leslie

Our journey through the corridors of power and the fields of grain begins with a special guest, Branden Leslie, Member of Parliament for Portage-Lisgar and a proud alumnus of the Grain Growers of Canada. Branden, a native of Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, brings a wealth of knowledge from his time as a political advisor and his tenure as the manager of policy and government relations with the GGC, to his recent election to the House of Commons.

As we sit down with Branden on a late Friday afternoon, fresh from his duties at the House of Commons, we'll dive into the intersection of agriculture and politics, his journey from advocacy to elected office, and how these experiences shape his views on the future of Canadian agriculture. And, as we're doing this over a couple of well-deserved beers, we'll also touch on the lighter side of life, including Brandon's recent venture into fatherhood.
