of the fanning business by
the end of this fiscal year. ”
Hallowell noted the key
objective of the Agnculture
Department is to provide a
smooth transition of state
farming operations to the
pnvate sector. “We are
staggering the sale of dairy
cattle throughout the year’s
grace period so the livestock
market will not be disrupted.
Dairy herd dispersals of the
Norristown, Allentown,
Selmsgrove, Danville and
Pork Holstein herds will be
held early in 1981. During the
grace period, the farms are
being maintained and im
proved in preparation to be
leased to Pennsylvania
farmers ”
“Family farmers who
carry on the farming
tradition on these lands will
be a credit to both them
selves and the Com
monwealth,” the
Agriculture Secretary said
“We are particularly en
couraging young individuals
who want to start a career in
agriculture to apply for
these leases ”
