Enjoy a first of its kind commodity book in PA! Following a successful collaborative effort through book development that models other states, the group produced and published a nonfiction children's book focusing on beef agriculture in Pennsylvania. While there are some books available that accurately relay the uniqueness of the beef industry, there are presently no books that specifically highlight beef production in Pennsylvania. The beef lifecylce is complex and it's important that the young generation understands where their food comes from. This book project provided the means for PA beef producers to tell their story to students across Pennsylvania.
