When it comes to animal health, we stand on common ground. 🤝🐔🩺🏛️ Yesterday, Governor Josh Shapiro (Office of the Governor of Pennsylvania) and Secretary Russell Redding sat down with several PennAg members from the poultry industry and state legislators for a roundtable discussion on the Shapiro Administration’s current aggressive, expanded response to the recent surge in Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) infections in Lancaster County. The discussion focused on several aspects of the Governor's response, including what is currently being offered to poultry farmers and the allied industry, as well as what additional resources and support are still needed to mitigate the spread, reduce stress, and minimize flock losses. PennAg shares its heartfelt gratitude to those on the front lines. We thank the dedicated team at the Rapid Response Center, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, USDA-APHIS veterinarians, and Penn State Extension for their time and efforts in helping slow the virus. We also want to thank Governor Shapiro and his administration for securing more than $380,000 in resources to provide additional aid and expand high-volume testing, strengthen aggressive biosecurity measures, and increase the number of experts working to contain and suppress the virus while minimizing business disruptions. As we come together during this time of extremity, we are reminded that animal health is a shared national interest and a strong poultry industry starts with healthy animals — no matter the aisle. 🤝🐔🩺🏛️
A plate of eggs and bacon with a side of ag policy is exactly how we like to do breakfast. 🍳🥓🏛️⚖️ Check out the scenes from Rep. Marla Brown's Farmer Breakfast that happened in her district last Thursday at the Bessemer Croatian Club. We love seeing the great conversations happening and connections between legislators and their farming communities to generate and sustain Pennsylvania agriculture. 🤝🌱🚜 We also want to give a shout-out to our Farmer Breakfast partners, Energy Transfer, Pennsylvania SIP Investors, Seneca Resources, and the National Fuel-Midstream Company for supporting our mission to bridge the gap between rural residents and farmers with their legislative representatives.
Animal health transcends partisanship 🤝🐔🚜 Nearly 300 PennAg members from Pennsylvania's poultry industry had a special guest join an annual industry Poultry Health call. Governor Josh Shapiro addressed members on the ongoing Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) outbreak. He shared steps and his plan to support farmers and the industry as a whole, in partnership with USDA, Penn State Extension, and the Rapid Response Center, to mitigate the spread of HPAI. PennAg sincerely thanks Governor Shapiro for taking the time to speak with our members about the current HPAI situation and the steps to safeguard the future of Pennsylvania's poultry industry. 👉 Read more on the Shapiro Administration's Stance on HPAI here: https://www.pa.gov/agencies/pda/newsroom/shapiro-administration-deploys-resources-to-support-hpai-respons
A farmer's breakfast is our type of jam! 🍳🥓🥞☕️ We love being a part of events that open the conversation for generating and sustaining Pennsylvania agriculture. Several members of southern York County from Sen. Phillips-Hill's district joined her and her colleagues, including a special guest, U.S. Sen. McCormick, for an engaging conversation about agricultural issues over coffee and eggs. 🤝🍳🥛🌽 #agribusiness #AgPolicy #farmerbreakfast #pennsylvaniafarmers
On this President’s Day, we’re reminded of the lasting impact of agriculture on our nation. As President Franklin D. Roosevelt told Americans during a 1936 September Fireside Radio Chat, agriculture remains the backbone of opportunity, jobs, and community; when farmers prosper, America prospers. 🌽🇺🇸🗽 #PresidentsDay #1930s #PresidentFDR #presidentroosevelt #agriculture #agribusiness #AgribusinessLeadership

For this #MembershipMonday, we’re spotlighting a Pennsylvania poultry legacy nearly a century in the making. 🐔
First shaped at Carl Risser’s kitchen table in 1928, Carl's values still guide the company, Risser's Poultry, in Lititz, PA, today. This family-led Pennsylvania agribusiness continues to honor its roots of hard work, humility, and a deep commitment to Pennsylvania's poultry community.
Discover how a 1928 kitchen-table dream continues to shape the next generation at Risser's Poultry.
