Waugh, Wenger to Kick Off 2nd Round of 'Farmers First' Initiatives

 

HARRISBURG -- Senator Mike Waugh (R-York) and Senator Noah Wenger (R-Lancaster) will hold a news conference on Tuesday, June 13, at the state capitol in Harrisburg to outline the second phase of a comprehensive legislative agenda aimed at promoting agriculture in Pennsylvania. 

           

The news conference will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 13, in the state capitol's East Wing Media Center.

 

The senators, who serve as chairman and vice chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, will also highlight several of the laws already enacted as part of their "Farmers First Agenda."  These include new measures to preserve farmland, help farmers be more competitive and protect the Commonwealth's equine industry from lawsuits.

           

Waugh and Wenger said the new initiatives they are introducing will build on these laws and help to ensure that the farming industry remains strong in Pennsylvania.
