A new report on Pennsylvania agriculture shows the industry has a $132.5 billion annual economic impact and supports more than 590,000 jobs, paying nearly $33 billion in wages annually.
The report makes strategic recommendations intended to help guide the industry as it continues to navigate a changing marketplace.
The last report was issued in January 2018, after which Gov. Tom Wolfâs administration developed a six-point plan that led to the proposal and funding of the first-ever Pennsylvania Farm Bill in 2019. That legislation has since invested $37.2 million into Pennsylvania agriculture.
In the governorâs 2021-22 budget plan, the PA Farm Bill is proposed to be funded at $13.6 million.
