Pennsylvania's new budget signed into law last week has carved out a sizable investment in the state's agricultural industry. Governor Josh Shapiro spoke at the Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences' Ag Progress Days on Aug. 9 to highlight parts of the 2023-24 budget directed toward agriculture. Key investments include: • $31 million to help poultry farmers impacted by the avian flu crisis pay for testing and get reimbursed. • $13.8 million to fully fund the Pennsylvania Farm Bill for the fifth year.
