To prevent future epidemic of
livestock diseases, Scranton plans
to increase inspection and
monitoring of farm animals and
poultry by the state department of
agriculture. He also would boost
research into animal diseases and
expand teaching and training
programs.
In his talk, Scranton saw prime
farmland as a “treasure” that
must be maintained. And he stated
he would put the full force of state
government at work to accomplish
it.
