In Pennsylvania, agriculture does more than fill supermarkets. It's at once a major economic driver, a steward of natural resources and a preserver of a venerated lifestyle. So it's no surprise that Penn State's Ag Progress Days, set for Aug. 16-18 at Rock Springs, brings together people with a wide variety of perspectives on the production of food, fuel and fiber. "Whether you are a crop grower, a livestock producer, a parent, a young person, a gardener, a conservationist, or simply a consumer of food, fiber and energy, there is something here to interest you," said Bruce McPheron, dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences.
