On May 7 and 8, 2025, the Berks County Conservation District brought its Soil Water AGriculture (SWAG) Bus to the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg for Farm City Days. The PA Department of Agriculture invited the district to bring the SWAG bus to the event.

Farm City Day is an event that promotes agriculture and understanding between rural and urban communities in Pennsylvania. It offers a hands-on experience for students to learn about farming and the food supply chain.

Over the course of two days, more than 1,300 students attended the event. The SWAG Bus was a hit!
