Williams Throw Its Support Behind Pennsylvania’s Dairy Industry

Williams, the pipeline company delivering Marcellus Shale gas to so many urban consumers, is also supporting the Pennsylvania dairy industry in a big way.

The fairgrounds at Harford were abuzz with activity last Thursday. As might be expected, there were a number of workers sprucing up landscape beds and making minor structural repairs in advance of opening night of the 2019 Harford Fair. But something else was afoot, or a-hoof, as it were. The livestock barn was already full of cattle more than two weeks early, and calls for handlers to bring their cows into the arena were echoing through the stalls.
