ignored or excluded the farm press
from events and announcements.
He referred to the news conference
Candidate Casey held in Lancaster
in regard to the Agricultural
Commodities Marketing Act to
which the campaign staff forgot to
invite the farm press. “It wasn’t on
purpose,’’ Crawford said. “But it
was a grave omission. We have
information we need to get out to
farmers. And we need to receive
from the press the things they hear
when they are out among the
farmers.” Crawford said this was
doubly important because he
smoothly without undue stress on
drives and apron chains. Roller-chain
drive for positive action —with double
shear bolt protection. Straight line
frame for maximum strength. And
beater blades bolted in a “rooster
comb” pattern to deliver consistent
and thorough shredding. There’s even a
full 10-year warranty on the copper
bearing steel sides.
So if you’re in the market for a new
spreader, look into the newest shape in

preceives the farm press to have
more credibility with their readers
than is enjoyed by the general
press.
To change the preceived
credibility gap between the farm
community and the Pennsylvania
Department of Agriculture, an
aggressive involvement in
leadership is forthcoming from
PDA. “We should be agriculture’s
number one advocates and
spokesmen,” Crawford said. “The
policy direction for agriculture is
going to come from PDA. And to
form that policy we are going to
seek a lot of imput from
agricultural leaders around the
state.

Dr. Hood said that to be a force
in the food, agriculture and
forestry market place, a lot of
cooperation between states,
counties and sectors of the public
must be achieved. “With 25 per
cent of the nation’s people living in
the northeast within a day’s drive
of production agriculture, the
markets are close. But markets
change with an aging population
and the changed eating habits. We
in agriculture need to change to
meet the market,” Hood said.
In addition, Hood said we need to
begin to talk about urban
agriculture. “Everyone in Pitt

sburgh, Philadelphia, Harrisburg
and Lancaster eat and consume
the products of agriculture. And
almost everyone has a green plant
on their property. We must get
across to urban and suburban
legislators that food and
agriculture are very important to
their constituents. We must em
phasize the health and vitality-the
quality of life in the urban setting
that is very much linked to
agriculture. 1 firmly believe the
Extension services are here to
serve all citizens of the state. We
must move away from the men
tality that Cooperative Extension
is only for farmers.”
Hood sited the example of the
gardening program in the city of
Philadelphia where about 5,000
families are manning 450 garden
sites that occupies a total of about
60 acres if you add all the small
plots together. “These people not
only produce food for their needs,
they also have a reason to be
proud,” Hood said. “It’s
fascinating to interact with these
people to see the sociological as
well as the economic benefits of the
program.
