Common and curious crops at the PA Farm Show | On The Pennsylvania Road

Farming is in the name at the Farm Show in Harrisburg, and Jon Meyer found Pennsylvania farming includes a lot of crops we don't think about.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — The most common things we tend to see at the Pennsylvania Farm Show are the animals, the butter sculpture, and the milkshakes.

Jon Meyer took the Pennsylvania Road to the annual celebration of agriculture in Harrisburg and found there's a lot more included in farming than most people think.
