MEMORANDUM

Posted: January 20, 2016 03:03 PM
From: Representative Will Tallman
To: All House members
Subject: Agricultural Promotion, Education & Exports Program
 
In the near future I am planning on introducing a separate line item bill to help sustain our agricultural industry. The line item is: Agricultural Promotion, Education and Exports. The amount is $250,000 and it does exactly what it says. Our Governor vetoed this line item.

For example this program helps to support mushroom farmers from increased competition from imported fresh product markets, as well as enhancing and the promotion and education outreach of mushrooms. For example, Pennsylvania is the nation’s number one producer of Agaricus mushrooms with 547 million pounds annually.

Introduced as HB1813
