This year’s Penn State Ag Progress Days will be held on August 13-15 and features the latest technology and research exhibits, educational programs on farm conservation and guided tours at the Russell E. Larson Agricultural Research Center at Rock Springs, nine miles southwest of State College, Pa.

Sponsored by Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences, the event is one of only three agricultural exhibitions in the country sponsored by a major University.  Exhibits showcase the latest in Penn State research, as well as information on best management practices and changing regulations in the agricultural industry.

With over 400 exhibitors from 34 states and 4 provinces of Canada, we have something for everyone.  Each year, farming families from across Pennsylvania and surrounding states attend this three-day event.

Of the 45,000 expected attendees, over 60 percent are actively engaged in agriculture or related professions.  Come and learn about the latest innovations in the agricultural industry and spend your day with Penn State Extension educators.

The Pennsylvania Office of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation will have an exhibit at the event featuring a variety of best management practices farmers can adopt to reduce nutrient and sediment runoff.
