The Lancaster County Ag Council exists to coordinate, strategize, cultivate, and celebrate the strength of Lancaster County’s agricultural community. Formed to unify leadership across the agricultural sector, the Council brings together farmers, agri-businesses, community partners, and community leaders to champion agriculture’s economic, environmental, and cultural impact—locally and globally.
Established to promote and advocate for Lancaster County agriculture, the Council is committed to providing meaningful information, elevating the Lancaster agriculture brand, and ensuring that residents understand the essential role agriculture plays in our community.
