If you have heard the term "dry canning," it's most likely in the context of canning dry foods such as grains, rice, beans, or nuts for long-term storage. The other popular reference to "dry canning" involves pressure canning vegetables without added liquid. ❗Neither of these are recommended methods of home food preservation! Canning is truly a science; therefore, it is essential to follow and use tested and research-based recipes from reputable sources of information. Remember when canning, safety must come first! ➡️ https://ow.ly/l7GX50TCjkY

I thoroughly enjoyed spending time this afternoon with the Pennsylvania 4-H State Council team as they asked great questions of Troy Ott and me. Their personal stories of how #4H has benefited them are a powerful reflection of the Penn State Extension staff and volunteers who work hard every day to make the best better.

Safety starts with knowledge!💡 We're proud to offer the National Safe Tractor and Machinery Operation Program, helping young workers and farmers learn the skills they need to safely operate tractors and machinery on the farm. This is a certificate program for 14- and 15-year-old youth enabling them to legally operate farm tractors and powered equipment for hire which they otherwise would not be allowed to operate under the U.S. Department of Labor’s Hazardous Occupations Order in Agriculture.

The Master Gardeners of Montgomery County are up to something special. 🌱 These demonstration and learning gardens are a tool to learning about plants, planting materials, and practices and concepts in garden design. A group of us had the chance to learn about the complexity and inter-connectedness of nature from these experts during a garden tour.
