(Harrisburg, PA) At the 109th Pennsylvania Farm show in Harrisburg on Thursday, $300,000 in grants were given to military veterans that work in agriculture during Military Appreciation Day. PA Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding emphasized during his remarks of the work that these receipients have done as they help to protect and to feed this country. According to Redding, people should not only recognize the two percent of those who serve in agriculture and the two percent of those who serve in the military.
