HARRISBURG, Pa. —

The Pennsylvania Farm Show is now officially over for 2025.

Sunday, the butter sculpture, “From Moo to Marvel: Dairy Cows Power Pennsylvania” was deconstructed.

The 1,000 pound work of art is being recycled in a digester — like the one illustrated in this year’s sculpture.

Brett Reinford, who transported the half-ton of butter to his dairy farm in Mifflintown, said the butter will produce enough energy to power one home for three days.

With cow manure and food waste, Reinford Farms produces enough power for around 500 homes every day on their farm.

“It’s just a way for our farm to be sustainable, contribute to our community and to the environment,” said Reinford.
