🌱 Today, we wrapped up the annual winter PA Agronomic Education Society (PAES) Conference in State College, and we just wanted to take a beat to thank all of our attendees for coming out for two days full of learning and networking. 🤝📚 We want to thank our sponsors for their continued support of the event. We could not have held a successful event without you! Thank you for supporting the continued education of Pennsylvania agronomic leaders and decision-makers. ☺️

🌱 Over 120 Certified Crop Advisors and other agronomic professionals are at the PA Agronomic Education Society (PAES) Conference in State College, sowing and growing their skills in soils, crops, and nutrient management while earning credits toward their crop advisor, pest, and nutrient management applicator certifications. The group will be here until tomorrow afternoon, learning and networking with other industry professionals before heading back to their businesses and farms, and begin applying the tools and knowledge gained at PAES. 🌱📚🚜 #paesconference #agronomicpractices #CCA #cropadvisor #AgriBusiness
Yesterday, we officially said goodbye to the 2026 Pennsylvania Farm Show. It was another busy day, and we want to take a minute to thank our members, who volunteered to come out on the last Saturday of the show to work our booth. Thank you to Jason Landis, Danny Good, Brian and Selah Yingling, Jim Shirk and his daughter, Samantha, and Michelle Lawyer, our bookkeeper, and her daughter, and her friend. Additionally, we would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our student workers and the Gunzey Hot Saugsage crew. Working the Farm Show, serving thousands of meals of delicious Pennsylvania-raised and processed proteins to over a million visitors, is a demanding task. Still, with your compassion and enthusiasm, you made the impossible possible. So, again, thank you for making this another memorable and successful event. And with that, we say, see you in 2027, at the 111th Pennsylvania Farm Show!

We are jumping on the bandwagon and feeling the nostalgia for 2016. It was quite a year for PennAg.
You just had to be there ✨
🌙 We are saying good night to Day 7 of Farm Show! Our staff and the Gunzey Hot Sausage crew are resting up for one more day of fun. 💤💤 😴
However, before we say good night, Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehn, we would like to thank our volunteers who came out this morning and this evening to support the booth on a Friday.
We extend our most sincere thanks to the Crew from Plainville Farms, Best Veterinary Solutions, Michele Shule of Kirby Agri, Andy Sanders from AgCom, Dan McNally of York Ag, Scott Good of Stevens Feed Mill, and Rita and Jess McMullen of PDM Insurance. Additionally, we would like to share our heartfelt appreciation with our evening crew, Torey Fischer - Penn State Extension, and with Mel Nissley and his grandchildren. Thank you so much for spending your Friday evening with us. We really don't know how we could have handled the dinner rush without you!
We were also thrilled to host a second premier tasting of Hatfield’s newest product, Kansas City BBQ ribs — yum! Another delicious treat for our Lounge visitors. Again, thank you to Hatfield and Chef Jen for this opportunity! 🧑🍳🔥🥩🐖
And now ‘til we meet again
Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehn 👋
GOOD NIGHT!💤🌙😴
