Lycoming County Conservation District hosted their 2nd Annual Ag lunch on February 25, 2025, in Williamsport, PA. It was a successful event that brought together farmers and several partnering agencies, including the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, USDA Farm Service Agency, Penn State Extension, and Stroud Water Research Center.
Representatives from PA Representative Jamie Flick’s office and U.S. Representative Glenn “GT” Thompson’s office were also present, further strengthening the event’s connection to local government support.
The gathering provided an opportunity for farmers to enjoy a meal, network with experts, and earn spray credits while learning about sustainable practices. This event was attended by 67 individuals, which represented a large increase from last year’s turnout. The collaboration between these agencies and government representatives highlights the importance of partnerships in promoting conservation and education within the farming community.
