Clean water legislative
WEST GROVE - “You as a
farmer are guilty until you prove
yourself innocent”, was Albert
Bartel’s, West Grove, President of
Chester-Delaware Farmer’s
Association, summary of the Clean
Water legislation, proposed in
Congress. He was giving the
highlights of the Farmer’s
Association Delegation recent visit
their congressmen in
Washington, at the monthly
Director’s meeting held in
Downingtown.
“If evidence of pesticides are
found in a well or water supply, a
nearby farmer pesticides
could be assumed by government
bureaucrats to be the cause.”,
Bartel’s explained.
“Even though there was no
evidence to indicate that the
pesticides had come from the
farmer’s operation, he could be
forced to clean out all the dirt
around the water supply. This
would be hauled to a disposal site
in Ohio and replaced with fresh
soil. The disposal site in Ohio is the
only one that is approved by
government agencies for the
handling of this kind of material,”
Bartel’s said.
This puts an unfair burden on a
farmer who is using pesticides
according to government
guidelines, who is using pesticides
approved by government agencies,
who is following recommended
application practices, he said. Yet,
he could be arbitrarily found
guilty, without evidence that the
pollution came from his farm. This
is contrary to our American
system of fair play,” Bartel’s
concluded.

concern given
Farmer’s Association Directors
also expressed concern about the
present thrust of preservation of
agricultural land by Pennsylvania
Fanner’s Association. The use of
development rights could interfere
with farmer’s use of his property,
either presently or at some future
time. It was pointed out that the
government interference, either
by rules or using tax producers’
currency, in the proposed
I preservation schemes were an
interference with private property
rights. It would also lesson
borrowing power because it would
decrease the value of the farm.
Fear was expressed that this
would have an impact on future
generation’s use of property as the
government regulations took ef
fect.
In other action, Denise
Wilkinson, Landenberg, Chairman
of the Women’s Committee,
outlined programs for the
Women’s Committee, for the next
few months. An organizational and
planning meeting will be help April
11. At that time, programs for
Ladies Day Out, and the summer
picnic will be formulated.
In other action, the Directors
asked that two couples be selected
to attend the Couple’s Conference
in June, that nominees be proposed
to vote on an Agricultural Penn
State Trustee, encouraged the
establishment of a study com
mittee on Blue Cross rates across
the state and voted to help in
financing the IF YE candidate,
Lois Mark of West Grove, who has
been selected to represent this
area in Barbados. She leaves this
summer for eight months.
