Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding unveiled the 2026 Pennsylvania Farm Show Butter Sculpture, a 1,000-pound sculpture that illustrates how defining moments in U.S. history and the evolution of agriculture have grown side by side to shape our nation.

This year’s sculpture is titled, "A Toast to Our Nation’s 250th Anniversary: Inspired by Founders. Grown by Farmers." The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, American Dairy Association North East, and the Pennsylvania Dairy Promotion Program sponsored the sculpture. “The butter sculpture is a people-pleasing favorite every year at the Pennsylvania Farm Show,” Secretary Redding said.

Created for America’s 250th anniversary, this year’s butter sculpture honors Pennsylvania’s pivotal role in the nation’s founding and the growth of American agriculture and our nation’s economy. Set in 1776 Philadelphia, the sculpture depicts Benjamin Franklin and the Founding Fathers at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, complete with a celebratory toast with milk. Patriotic elements, including the Liberty Bell, a tribute to Betsy Ross, and red, white, and blue accents underscore the spirit of the semi-quincentennial. At the same time, the base highlights Pennsylvania’s enduring agricultural heritage. (PA Cast)
