Shapiro visited the Hershman Dairy Farm on Georgetown Road in Polk and was joined by Venango County Commissioner Chip Abramovic.
On his visit, he talked about the ACRE Law, which stands for Agriculture, Communities, and Rural Environment. Enacted in 2005, the ACRE law ensures that ordinances adopted by local governments to regulate normal agricultural operations are not in violation of state law.
