HARRISBURG - The Century Farms Program, ad
ministered by the Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture will be continued through the coming year,
according to State Agriculture Secretary Kent D
Shelhamer.
The Century Farms Program is aimed at recognizing
the efforts of Pennsylvania’s farm families which have
preserved the traditions and the rural heritage of the
pioneer farm.
Shelhamer noted that Pennsylvania’s pioneer farmer 5
persevered through all kinds of difficulties. “The hard
ships of farming and settlement were offset somewhat W
competitions of farm life. Certain virtues and ideal 5
were deVeloped... thrift, close family and community h»e
cooperation, reverence for the Creator, self-reliance and a
love of liberty.” _ (
Over 600 farms from 63 counties have been certifi Jr
