Farmers’
WYALUSING (Bradford Co.)
The Bradford Sullivan County
Farmers Association (BSCFA)
held a fund raiser on Sunday, Sept,
22nd, which netted Hog Farmer
Harvey Rogers $4OOO in his
21-month right-to-farm struggle.
The BSCFA held a fund-raiser
luncheon yesterday in Monroeton,
Bradford County Pa, with over
450 donators in attendance. The
amount collected for Hog Farmer
Rogers’ legal defense fund
amounted to a little over $4000.,
which goes a long way to help
defray legal costs which have
reached the $12,000 mark. To date
the 700-member county associa
tion has raised close to $lO,OOO to
help preserve the Rogers’ right-to
farm, which is being challenged
by a out-of-state-neighbor, who
claims that “odors” from the
Rogers’ facility makes his home
uninhabitable.
‘The fund-raiser could not have
been a success without the support
