Helping the public understand the importance and diversity of agriculture is a major goal for the faculty, staff and students from Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences who will participate in the Pennsylvania Farm Show, Jan. 5 to 12, in Harrisburg, Pa. The Pennsylvania Farm Show is the largest indoor agricultural event in America, and the college's role is part of Penn State's land-grant partnership with the state.

The college's presence will be felt throughout the Farm Show Complex, but the public focus will be an exhibit in the Main Hall offering presentations on a variety of topics, as well as information for prospective students on career opportunities and academic programs at one of the premier agricultural colleges in the nation.

If you want to learn more about insects, need advice on home gardening or seek guidance on how to choose an electricity provider, Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences might have just the information you're looking for at the 2012 Pennsylvania Farm Show, Jan. 7-14 in Harrisburg.

The many faces of Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences will be evident at the 2010 Pennsylvania Farm Show, to be held from Jan. 9 to 16, in Harrisburg, Pa. The showpiece will be an exhibit highlighting a wide range of research and outreach related to water quality, but the college's presence will be felt throughout the sprawling Farm Show Complex.
