On February 19, Penn State Extension will host a webinar on Climate Change Projections for PA and Conservation Practices to Help Farmers Cope from Noon to 1:00 p.m.

You don’t need to be a scientist to recognize how Pennsylvania’s climate has gradually changed over the past several decades.

Anyone who has lived here 30 years or longer will remember how winters were colder, summers less hot, and destructive rainstorms less common.

This presentation will examine how the climate is changing in Pennsylvania, how these changes impact agriculture, and how conservation practices can help farmers be ready for farming in a future with more extreme weather.
