WEST CHESTER, (Chester
Co.) Chester/Delaware Far
mer’s Association Directors, at
their monthly meeting held recen
tly in West Chester, heard reports,
planned for farmers policy deve
lopment and continued stream
monitoring programs for farmers.
Harold Bryson, Oxford,
reported that Marjorie Kraus of
Algal Research Center, Landen
berg, has been retained as environ
mental and water quality consul
tant for Association members.
Association members who have
questions about their water quality
or are being harassed for alleged
stream pollution should contact the
Algal Research Center or their
nearest Director.
Directors voted to support
House Bill 2336, sponsored by
Congressman Richard Schulze.
Robert Lange, West Chester,
explained that, “the purpose of the
bill is to reduce estate taxes on the
transfer of farm property within a
family. The estate tax would be
reduced to zero over a 30-year per
iod. The special exception would
apply in a 50-mile radius of a
major city area.”
“We need the support of the

tion, the American Farm Bureau

The adoption of the bill will make
it possible for farm land to stay in
farming. The land will not need to
be sold piecemeal to pay inflated
estate taxes caused by develop
ment in urban areas”, Lange stated.
It is expected that Aden Specter
will sponsor similar legislation in
the Senate.
“Township Policy Develop
ment chairmen should reserve 8:30
a.m. Wednesday, August 9 in Hon
eybrook for their organization
meeting,” Elmer Mast, Parkes
burg, Chairman, said. “It is impor
tant that all Fanner’s Association
members participate. Policy state
ments reflect issues at the county,
state and national levels. Issues
such as eminent domain, zoning,
reduction in real estate taxes, and
protection of private property
can all be presented and discussed
at the policy development meet
ings.” It was suggested that per
haps an open meeting be held to
invite in other groups that are con
cerned with agriculture such as
supervisors, fire companies, exten
sion, fish and game clubs.
Tim Hihn, Avondale, said that a
Meeting
committee of mushroom farmers
had been picked to work with the
Pennsylvania Farmer’s Associa
tion for the creation of a statewide
mushroom commodity committee.
Since mushroom farmers are
nationwide, this could evolve into
a national committee of the Ameri
can Farm Bureau Federation. The
three members named are Mike
Pia, Pete Alonzo and Steve
Vincenti.
