HERSHEY (Dauphin Co.) The
dean of Penn State University’s
College of Agricultural Sciences
said Thursday that, in order to sur
vive, agriculturalists in the North
east must manage more, develop
their own markets, and become
more involved in their local,
urbanized communities.
Dr. Lamartine Hood, dean of
PSU College of Agricultural Sci
ences, was the featured speaker at
the annual convention of Agway,
held at the Hershey Lodge and
Convention Center.
The convention was actually
one of three regional conventions
held this year. Traditionally,
Agway held its annual convention
in Syracuse, N.Y., near its
headquarters.

ment on his view of the future of
agriculture in the Northeast
While he didn’t say specifically
what his vision of the future of
agriculture would be. he did say
that he could forscc a continuing
role for a diversity of agricultural
endeavors.
According to Hood, success in
the future will depend on an “indi
vidual and collective ability to
address issues and capitalize” on
opportunities.
“We must convert challenges
into opportunities.” he told the
audience of several hundred far
mers and Agway employees.
He said that there is “no ques
tion that (farming) is changing.
Agriculture will be carried out in
an urbanizing environment”
According to the dean, farmers
across the Northeast face several
common challenges operating

Farm Smarter,
in a way that ensures a minimal
negative impact to the environ
ment, and ensures clean water and
healthy, wholesome food.
“Obviously, urban pressure is
different for eveiyone, but many
challenges are common across
counties, across the state and the
region,” Hood said. “There are
many issues that we in agriculture
are deeply involved in.”
He said that in 1990, the College
of Agricultural Sciences con
ducted a random survey as part of
an ongoing effort to determine the
effectiveness of extension prog
ramming and public educational
needs.
The survey asked, “Compared
to what is being done now, what
priority do want in the following
areas in the future?”
Hood said there were about SO
items listed on the survey for
uncwaTftwHina, away, awmirfi;mm
Educate To Survive
comment.
Of the 7,500 surveys sent out,
the college received 3,600, which
is an extraordinary response to a
survey, he noted.
But, according to Hood, the
common theme in the responses
was the environment He said six
of the top items dealt with the
environment safe disposal of
industrial wastes; clean water, pro
tection of natural resources; safe
sewage handling and treatment;
preservation of farmland; and safe
use of agricultural chemicals.
That compares to a response to a
1980 survey in which farmland
preservation was the only environ
mental issue that was of major
public concern.
He said the urbanization of Pen
nsylvania’s historic agricultural
areas have also created an different
environment for doing business.
He said that despite the demands
being put on local communities by
the “new neighbors” such as
increased demands for services,
and the increased congestion
they also represent opportunities.
According to Hood, farmers of
the future will be the ones who see
the new neighbors as increased
marketing opportunities, sources
of local revenues and stimulants to
the local economies.
And he said that the neighbors
also represent political power.

“Our new rani residents can and
will exert influence on every area.”
Hood said.
Increased pressure to regulate
livestock operations, nutrient man
agementand pesticide application
controls have been brought about
people who have moved to “the
country” and have changed it, he
said. But, it will not end. “Other
issues will follow,” Hood said.
Therefore, he cautioned farmers
that in order to keep a place in the
new communities, they must
become more involved.
“The ‘we-werc-here-first’ atti
tude isn’t going to get it done,”
Hood said.
Overall, Hood said there are six
main things he wanted to impress
upon the audience as what they
will have to do to succeed in the
Northeast:
• Make a commitment to man
agement and enhanced
proGtability.
• Be good neighbors and
involved citizens.
• Commit to foods systems edu
cation. Educate neighbors face to
face. Invite them to the farm. Hire
their youth.
• Form strategies for marketing.
Build alliances, partnerships and
linkages.
• Understand and respond to the
market place.
• Be comfortable with change.
