Governor Tom Wolf announced the approval of $2.17 million in funding to expand agriculture operations for six projects in five Pennsylvania counties. The investments approved today will help farmers acquire buildings, farmland, and construct barns and broiler houses.
“Pennsylvania’s agriculture industry helps our economy thrive and is an important way of life for people across our commonwealth,” said Gov. Wolf. “Today’s approved funding will help our farmers expand their operations, embark on new ones, and provide critical goods and services to buyers in their communities and beyond.”
