This program offers a close-up look at several unique links in the agricultural supply and distribution chain in Lancaster County, attempting to explain why the County has become a hub for the industry in a five-state area. We will tour the Leola Produce Auction, the Oregon Dairy Farm, Rohrer’s Seeds, and Shady Maple Smorgasbord that illustrate the supply chain integration in the Lancaster area.  PSPA Secretary Scott Sheely will be our host.
