Mitkeeper Tank Phone 717-768-7111 quickly implement the provisions for FmHA Emergency Relief Loans” for the farmers of the county whose crops were struck by a severe freeze on April 29. Shelhamer sent a telegram to USDA Secretary Bob Bergland explaining that damage from the freeze was estimated at well over $4 million for peaches, apples, cherries and grapes. “The frost virtually eliminated any chance of commercial success for the growers in Erie County this year,” he said. 600 614 783 638 635 Shelhamer said that he had also written Governor Milton J. Shapp, requesting him to intercede with President Carter to secure help in meeting the crisis in Erie County. “This blow has been a severe one for the farmers and growers of Erie County and we should do all that is within our power to assist them at this time,” he said. 738 697 701 683 725 743 The actions have been taken, Shelhamer noted, in his belief that the Department of Agriculture should do all that is possible to voice the problems of the fanner, and he pledged that the Department would continue to assist Pennsylvania farmers and consumers whenever possible. 738 657 755 3.5 3.8 4.4 4.2 802 638 804 644 Shelhamer said that consumers in the northwestern region of the state would find higher prices for these crops this year due to the shortages caused by the freeze, but then added, “Statewide, prices should not be affected to any large extent. The growers of Erie County took the brunt of the freeze, and thankfully the rest of the state was not hit that bard.” Losses in Erie County are estimated at 90 per cent for the apple and cherry crops, over 50 per cent for the peach crop, and a minimum of 40 per cent for the grape crop. “Only the possibility of a second growth on the grape vines gives us an hope of holding losses to that 40 per cent figure,” Shelhamer said. Maryland’s productive agriculture suffered an estimated $26 million in losses due to the ravages of the Winter of 1977 according to figures released by State Secretary of Agriculture Young D. Hance.
