The Pennsylvania Farm Show is about to open, and the theme this year is called "Opening the Doors". Opening the doors into the farming industry.
That's the purpose of the barn exhibits at the PA Farm Show. The display barn offers visitors a chance to see what the inside of the livestock barns look like on a farm.
More than 350 volunteers will be on hand to answer questions as to how the animals are raised and handled.
Christian Herr with PennAG says there is a lot of controversy over farming, this exhibit is setup to show people how it works. "There is lots of controversy in many aspects of the world, including agriculture. This exhibit lets people see the production practices and lest them see the habitats and draw their own conclusions."
Conclusions that may have been formed from documentaries or preconceived ideas of how things are done. Here you are able to talk one on one with a person who works in the agriculture industry and ask as many questions as you want.
"There's reasons scientific reasons behind these practices. We need to be transparent and how their food is raised and why it is as affordable as it is," Herr said.
The Open Doors Shed exhibit will be open all week.
