On January 20, 2015, Tom Wolf was sworn in as Pennsylvania’s 47th governor. Gov. Wolf grew up in a small south central Pennsylvania town in York County and still lives in the house he was brought home to from the hospital. Gov. Wolf left York County to attend college at Dartmouth, but he interrupted his studies to join the Peace Corps and served two years in a small village in India before returning to finish his undergraduate degree.
Since his days in the Peace Corps, Tom has understood the power of agriculture to change lives. As governor, Tom has focused strategic investments in building the infrastructure we need to expand trade opportunities and meet rapidly growing demand for quality Pennsylvania products at home and abroad.
Tom has also expanded opportunities at every educational level to build the skilled workforce the industry needs to succeed, pointing students toward science, technology, engineering and math careers in agriculture that will be waiting when they finish school.
