Did you know that 55% of U.S. youth participate in organized sports?

From local fields in Adams County to the FIFA World Cup, sports help develop teamwork, leadership, and perseverance while bringing people together through a shared sense of community pride.

Sports also contribute billions of dollars to the U.S. economy through recreation, tourism, hospitality, and local businesses—demonstrating the important role they play both on and off the field.

Good luck to Team USA on the world's biggest stage!

Thank you PA State Rep. Dan Moul for your efforts advocating for Adams County fruit growers and all of Pennsylvania Agriculture. Our farmers are resilient, dedicated, and a major contributor to our local economy and communities. Please continue to shop the local fruit stands, markets and small businesses.

This week, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins signed a federal disaster declaration for Adams and 16 other Pennsylvania counties due to the April 19-21 freeze. In doing so, she also announced federal assistance to help farmers who suffered damage and crop losses. Fruit farmers here in Adams County were particularly hard hit by the freeze. Now they will have access to emergency loans and other assistance to help them recover. I recently visited El Vista, a 600-acre fruit farm in Fairfield where owner Dave Benner shared how the recent freeze has affected his orchards.
