April 04, 2024 - Enon Valley, PA
Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding and Senate Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee Chair Senator Elder Vogel, Jr. visited Old English Acres, home of champion Limousin beef cattle in Enon Valley, Lawrence County, to see how the farm's business investments would be more secure with the $5 million veterinary lab system expansion Governor Josh Shapiro proposed in his 2024-25 budget. "Old English Acres owner Ed Clark has invested his life and livelihood in raising some of the finest, most valuable beef cattle available," Secretary Redding said. "Delivering a livestock test sample out of state or to State College to the closest veterinary lab in our state system can mean a costly delay and a risk to his investment. The Shapiro Administration has made it a top priority to invest in robust, thriving economy fed by a strong agriculture industry all across Pennsylvania. This investment would expand the services offered by our world class Pennsylvania Animal Diagnostic Laboratory System, lowering costs, and feeding the growth counties like Lawrence are seeing."
