Ag Advocate Training Held on April 16

The Penn State Ag Council hosted an Ag Advocate Training and Skybox Event for the new Penn State Extension Council members on April 16th in conjunction with the Blue and White football game.


The event included a morning training program with speakers addressing the impacts of the proposed funding cuts to Penn State and the College of Ag Sciences. Senator Jake Corman, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, discussed the budget situation, noting his desire to have the college Ag Research and Ag Extension lines items separated out from the Penn State general funding line and funding levels restored.
