Pennsylvania Farm Show enters fourth day amid heavy crowds
The 60th Pennsylvania State Farm Show sees ongoing dairy cattle and horse judging and swine sales across four breeds. Attendance relies on car counts with 6 571 on Monday and 7 740 on Tuesday. Masters Farmers honored include Lloyd E Benner and J Wilbur Burkholder among others. Swine gilts sold 116 animals for 36155 dollars, up from last year, while egg demonstrations by Howard Helmer drew large crowds. Weather delayed some visitors as roads iced, yet crowds remained large for beef and dairy championships and multiple breed competitions.
