Yet each year over three million acres of far mland nationwide are lost to the encroachment of in dustry and urbanization. “This is a strong measure AGWAY, INC.

Walker’s interest in preserving farmland was first expressed in similar legislation he introduced in the 95th Congress. That legislation grew from his work with area agricultural leaders and public officials, including Amos Funk of Millersville. The new bill was described as a modification of the original proposal which embodies the same prin ciples of individual decision making about agricultural deed restrictions but sim plifies the procedures along the lines suggested by H.H. Haverstick of Lancaster.

Farmland Preservation Act Under the Walker proposal, a system of tax exemptions on capital gams when the property is sold would encourage owners of farmland to agree to limit the future use of their land for agricultural purposes only. The owner of the farmland would be eligible for a capital gains tax exemption by signing an agreement with the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture formalizing a permanent commitment to keeping the land in agricultural production. “This legislation represents federal action entirely compatible with the ongoing local and state ef forts m our area and in Pennsylvania to preserve our farms,” Walker said. “1 believe this proposal is ERNON MYERS, INC STEEL BUILDINGS & GRAIN STORAGE R.D. 4- Box 845 Lebanon, Pa. 17042 Phone: < 7l7 > 867-4139 So strong, just V* of the roof sheets sup port over 2,000 Lbs.!
