Delaware Valley University is shaping the future of agriculture in Pennsylvania, set amidst Bucks County's historic farmlands. The lands now serve as a training ground for the next generation of farmers and agricultural professionals. One in ten jobs in Pennsylvania is supported by agriculture, a statistic cited by the PA Department of Agriculture.
Bucks County Conversations, a podcast delving into the core of Bucks County's governmental dialogue, recently highlighted this evolution. Listeners tuned into an episode that traced the county's agricultural lineage from the era of Penn to the present-day curriculum of Del Val. Featured were stories about Commissioners Bob Harvie and Diane Ellis-Marseglia, two individuals with family histories deeply entwined in the county's pastoral legacy. As Harvie put it, "In this episode, you’ll hear about the changes the county has gone through when it comes to agriculture from William Penn to Del Val, and in between we learn about Commissioners Bob Harvie and Diane Ellis-Marseglia’s family roots in the county."
Their discussions touch upon the outcomes of the Bucks County Commissioners’ meeting and broach new projects and pertinent county events. Agricultural enthusiasts and locals looking to stay informed can find Bucks County Conversations on popular platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
