As part of his presentation, Gelsinger cited his support of pfbSOLUTIONS, while also talking about how his background working on a Pennsylvania family farm in Berks County led him to many milestones in the Silicon Valley.

"Growing up on a farm in Pennsylvania, I understand well the importance of the agriculture industry to our nation," said Pat Gelsinger, CEO of VMware. "I support pfbSOLUTIONS because of its drive to connect rural and corporate communities and its mission to give back to our nation's farmers through the latest in technology capabilities. This unique, innovative alliance is a win-win for everyone."
