As Governor, Stacy Garrity will work with the legislature to preserve and strengthen the PA Rapid Response Disaster Readiness Account to assist in quick responses in the event of another outbreak for both livestock and plant disease.

ask questions, and provide input.

community should determine its future.

land value.

Initiative 2: Cutting Government Red Tape
As Governor, Stacy Garrity will launch a new F.A.R.M (Farmers Aid and Rural
Management) office at the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. This one stop
office will be directly coordinating with other Government Agencies, so farmers
do not have reach out to multiple parties when trying to accomplish one goal. This
office will also be the center of all filings for farmers There will no longer be a
need for farmers to submit different filings to multiple agencies. Additionally,
agencies will focus on rolling back regulations in three key areas:

  • DEP Permitting: Streamline permits for barns, manure storage, water usage,
    and on-farm improvements with clear timelines and uniform standards.
  • Nutrient Management; Manure Paperwork: Simplify reporting, scale rules to
    farm size, and eliminate redundant submissions.
  • Duplicative Reporting Across Agencies: End multiple filings to DEP,
    Agriculture, and conservation districts through one statewide submission.

Initiative 1: Building the Next Generation of Farmers
Pennsylvania has only 150 FFA programs across 501 school districts, limiting agricultural education access. As Governor, Stacy Garrity plans to double the number of FFA programs in schools to ensure all students can pursue agriculture careers.

Additionally, to support workforce development, she will expand tax credits and grants for professional education by building on existing programs like the Penn State Extension partnerships. A proposed Farmer Education and Training Tax Credit would provide refundable or non-refundable credits to active farmers to offset costs of approved training, certifications, and workshops.

At the Stacy Garrity for Governor Agriculture Coalition launch, Union County, PA farm owners share their concerns for property rights and national security

/ * * *

Stacy Garrity will protect Pennsylvania property rights.  Union County, PA residents spoke at the Stacy Garrity Ag Coalition Launch regarding the transmission lines that PP&L wants to run through eight (8) PA Preserved Farms, to service one customer.  This one customer is a data center looking to build in Allenwood, PA.  Not only are there alternatives to running the power lines to the data center without disrupting farmland, but the company looking to build the data center is sharing their time between living in the USA and Moscow.  Do Pennsylvanians want Russia buying prime farmland and building data centers, used to spy on Pennsylvanians?  Under a Garrity administration, we can count on Stacy for Pennsylvania’s security and preserving farmland.
