Smith 9 (Continued from Page B 14) He explained that greenhouse fanning has been stagnant at 10,000 acres under glass in the United States. But in places like Japan, acreage has been expanded to about 200,000 in recent years. In Pennsylvania, there are only 700 acres under glass. “Here in the Commonwealth we have the two biggest positive factors favoring the expansion of greenhouse farming,” Smith said. “We have easy access to markets for year-round production from greenhouses. “And we produce more reject warm water than any other state in the nation.” The greenhouse farming proposal advanced by Penn State goes well beyond producing the traditional crops under glass. It is hoped to do research in tran splants, orchard stock and even fish. The proposed research would be Coordinated with more than 20 other groups and organizations throughout the Commonwealth. But first, it remains to be seen if Penn State is successful in getting the research funds. Smith also spoke about another “trend” that’s coming in the College of Agriculture at Penn State. In the next three years or so about one-third of the research staff will be retiring. EVERY WEDNESDAY IS DAIRY 9 IT KW HOLUMI SUES STMUS, INC.

In discussing the status of far ming in Pennsylvania, Smith described it as being in transition. He cited the need for more ac tivity in foreign markets and developing the capability to better adapt to social and political ramifications that occur in overseas trade. Also, he stressed the requirement to move into even higher technology in agriculture. But he issued a warning. While the statistics of American agricultural productivity are impressive, the steel and auto industries once boasted similar facts, he said. The need now in ag research is not to stress more production, as in the past, but more profitable production, he said. ORGANIC CENTER 717-354-7064 217 S.
