Farmers have always found ways to work smarter with what they have. Early farmers learned to read the land, rotate crops, and build systems that could weather uncertainty. Today, that same ingenuity is being applied to one of agriculture's most pressing challenges: energy.
At UGI Energy Services, we're proud to support the agricultural community that forms the backbone of Pennsylvania's economy. As a Harvest Partner of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau, we're committed to strengthening the partnership between energy and agriculture—two industries essential to the Commonwealth's prosperity.
March 24 is National Agriculture Day — a fitting moment to spotlight one of farming's less-recognized contributions: turning methane emissions into homegrown energy through biogas.
