In late March, several of those in leadership at the PSPA took a trip to the National Agriculture Library in Beltsville, MD. It is one of the largest libraries of its kind in the world with not only print material but also a large collection of artifacts – Smokey the Bear stuff, seed catalog art, and advertising related to new (at the time) technology. Huge reference operation, much of which is available online.

Mike M (who planned the trip), Mike F, Arland, Bob, Betsy, and Scott also thank Josh McGrath for hosting us.
