Ag Conservation Professionals! Get Your Passport To 2025 PA Farm Show, Enhance Your Conservation Skills Starting Jan. 4

Take part in the Penn State Center for Ag Conservation Assistance Training's Passport at the Pennsylvania Farm Show From January 4 to 11!

Designed specifically for new conservation professionals, participating in the Agricultural Conservation Passport offers numerous benefits to participants.

This activity provides individuals with firsthand learning experiences to independently boost their Agricultural Literacy skills by visiting a wide range of organizations and vendors across Farm Show.

Participants will enhance their skills, broaden their knowledge, and foster collaboration through networking with top ag organizations.

Start Here

The journey begins at Farm Show booth 2302, located inside the GIANT Exposition Hall, where participants can pick up their passport.

The passport features fourteen highlighted stops, each offering unique insights into different aspects of agricultural operations.

To qualify for a completion prize, participants need to visit at least eight of these stops and write an answer in their passport at each location.

Once all eight stops have been visited, participants should return to booth 2302 to receive a completion prize as a reward for their dedication to learning.

This incentive not only acknowledges their efforts but also encourages continued engagement in conservation practices.

In addition to the required eight stops, participants are encouraged to expand their Agricultural Conservation knowledge by visiting as many of the exhibits as possible.

These additional stops provide further opportunities for learning and networking, helping participants to gain a more comprehensive understanding.

By taking full advantage of this program, new conservation professionals can significantly enhance their expertise and establish valuable connections within the community.
