The day included a tour of the farm and an opportunity to hear directly about the current issues, challenges, and opportunities facing our farmers and agricultural community.

OUR VOICES WERE HEARD AND OUR RIGHTS PROTECTED!
Today, the Pennsylvania Department of Health withdrew its proposed rulemaking on communicable and noncommunicable diseases from consideration by the Independent Regulatory Review Commission.
This is an important development for Pennsylvanians who raised serious concerns about government overreach, individual liberty, and the protection of our constitutional rights.
Your voices were heard. Your concerns mattered. And today, our rights were protected.
The Department has indicated that it intends to revise the proposal and may resubmit it in the future. So we will remain vigilant and continue to scrutinize any new proposal to ensure that the rights and freedoms of Pennsylvanians are respected.
Government works for the people not the other way around.
Thank you to everyone who spoke up, contacted their elected officials, and made their voices heard.
