Penn State: Agricultural Production And Shale Gas Development Webinar Nov. 15

Penn State Extension will host a webinar on November 15 on Agricultural Production and Shale Gas Development from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m.

Join Ph.D. Candidate Gretchen Sneegas as she discusses research on perceptions of the long-term agricultural impacts from shale development in the Twin Tiers region of Pennsylvania and New York, two states that regulate unconventional gas in different ways.

Among the issues to be discussed are--

-- Perceptions of shale gas development among farmers and extension professionals

-- How the New York state ban on hydraulic fracturing impacts farmers’ viewpoints

-- What variables influence farmers’ viewpoints on shale gas development

-- Potential applications of results to build consensus in the future
