Pennsylvania Fourth
In Milk Production
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
Agriculture Secretary Boyd E.
Wolff said Friday that despite last
year’s devastating drought and
sluggish economy, Pennsylvania
dairy farmers’ 1991 milk produc
tion of 10.1 billion pounds a 2
percent increase over 1990 was
enough to push the state up from
fifth to fourth place nationally.
“Challenges and accomplish
ments often go together in Pen
nsylvania and even when the
going became tough, our produc
ers set new records,” Wolff told
the state Senate Appropriations
Committee.
Pennsylvania surpassed Minne
sota to achieve the fourth place
milk production ranking. The top
three milk-producing states are
Wisconsin, California and New
York.
Wolff also reported on a num
ber of state Agriculture Depart
ment accomplishments in the area
of agricultural economic develop
ment, farmland preservation,
exports and food safety.
“Agricultural economic deve
lopment has been given a high
priority,” Wolff said, noting that
since 1987. nearly $lOO million in
funding has gone into agricultural
processing and hardwoods
development.
For example, the PennAg prog
ram that provides loans to agricul
tural processors with fewer than
100 employees, has loaned nearly
rdon Wood, center, with
$3 million since its inception in
1989, and will make another $1
million available in the current fis
cal year.
“Last year, when I came before
this committee, I told you our
farmland preservation effort was
moving in high gear,” Wolff said.
“This year, we are indeed in high
gear.”
The secretary said that to date.
26 counties have started farmland
preservation programs and six
others have formed exploratory
boards. So far, 128 farms and a
total of 14,519 acres have been
protected under the program.
Wolff said that Pennsylvania’s
agricultural export program “con
tinues to be a success story for
Pennsylvania agriculture,”
increasing $126 million, or 84 per
cent, since 1986.
Pennsylvania’s agricultural
exports were enhanced through
increased participation in trade
shows, where representatives
helped foreign buyers discover
quality Pennsylvania products.
The agriculture secretary also
called for the passage of a new
comprehensive food law—cover
ing packaging, sanitation, food
safety and standards that would
replace 17 existing state laws.
Wolff said passage of the law,
which would be similar to those
adopted by 43 other states, would
provide Pennsylvania’s food
industry with uniformity with
other state and federal laws.
