Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee
Agriculture is one of Pennsylvania's leading industries, and because of this I am proud to serve as the Chairman of the Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee. This page is devoted to keeping you informed of what the Committee has been doing, along with general happenings within the agricultural industry. Throughout the listening sessions held last year by the Senate Agriculture and Rural
Affairs Committee, which I chair, we heard many comments and concerns
regarding agricultural workforce availability. As a result, my committee
held a joint hearing with the Senate Labor and Industry Committee on this
very topic in the fall to glean more information and suggestions from the
men and women who make their living from agriculture. I am pleased to see that this year's
Pennsylvania Career Guide, a valuable source of
information and resources compiled by the Departments of Education and Labor
and Industry, focuses on agriculture and food production as a 'most
important industry.' The inclusion of agriculture in this year's Career
Guide is a direct result of the action taken by my committee and is evidence that these
concerns are being heard and addressed seriously by our Commonwealth. Hearings and Meetings | Archive January 26, 2010 - Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee hearing to consider bills News Agriculture Links
