Juniata County is set to benefit from state agriculture grants aimed at supporting youth education and career development. The Juniata County Agricultural Society received $6,500 for its “Chase the Banner” program, while the local FFA’s “Savoring the Seasons” food preservation initiative was awarded $7,479. These funds come from the PA Farm Bill Agriculture & Youth Grants, which distributed over $500,000 across 29 counties. Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding highlighted the importance of preparing young people for roles in Pennsylvania’s $132.5 billion agriculture industry, a key focus of the Shapiro Administration’s education investments.
