|
| Cooperation |
The association distributes a quarterly
newsletter, maintains an information packed
web site and sponsors regional workshops
and conferences. |

| Pennsylvania farmers are known for their environmentally sound growing practices-crop rotations, cover crops, contour strips, selected varieties and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) are some of the methods used to provide our safe, abundant, local farm products. |
