Farm Show milkshakes stand at the ready during the 2019 event.
The PA Farm Show is just 100 days away, and that milestone is being marked with the release of the theme for the 2020 show.
The state Department of Agriculture today announced that the theme will be “Imagine the Opportunities.”
“Each year, the Pennsylvania Farm Show uses a theme to convey our vision for the future of Pennsylvania agriculture,” said Farm Show Complex Executive Director Sharon Altland, in a statement. “This year, we see nothing but bright horizons and we want all of Pennsylvania to imagine how they can be a part of it.”
The 2020 Farm Show is slated for Jan. 4 to 11, featuring some 12,000 competitive exhibits.
According to the department, the theme builds upon the state’s first-ever comprehensive farm bill, actually a series of bills with broad bipartisan support signed into law in June. The $23 million legislation, in general, was meant to stimulate interest in agriculture through such measures as helping beginning farmers, funding research into specialty crops and assisting the dairy industry.
“This year’s Farm Show theme is inspired in part by Gov. Wolf’s ability to imagine a bright future for Pennsylvania agriculture through the support found in the PA Farm Bill,” said Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding, in a statement. “Thanks to this investment, the opportunities in Pennsylvania agriculture are boundless.”
