The PA Farm Show has a long-standing tradition of highlighting the best in all of Pennsylvania agriculture. The 107th edition of the annual show truly encapsulated how Pennsylvania is a hub for food, fiber, and fuel, exemplifying the “Rooted in Progress” theme.
The PA Pork Producers Council (PPPC) was honored to play a part in showcasing pork production to visitors from across the Commonwealth. In the Giant Expo Hall, visitors got to see modern pig production highlighted with a sow and litter on display. The piglets, who were just 4 days old at the opening of the show were truly a focal point for visitors!
PPPC supported youth swine exhibitors by providing a “swag” bag filled with an engraved show brush, laundry bag, PPPC hat and snacks for the 4-H and FFA Market Hog show.
In addition, PPPC showcased the many career opportunities in pork production. From on-farm labor, to veterinarians, to truck drivers, feed haulers and plant employees, there’s a spot for any interest in the pork supply chain.
Youngsters in the booth also learned about the lifecycle of a market pig from a newly created short-story film as well as the products used in daily life from pork production!
