Thirty-two congressmen have signed a letter urging the House Committee on Agriculture to make state and local farmland pro tection programs a priority in the 1995 Farm Bill. The congressmen are from Ari zona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Mary land, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vir ginia, and Vermont. In the letter, the congressmen say the loss of land threatens the economic productivity, scenic open space, watersheds and wild life, and tax savings provided by farmland. ‘The nation is losing over 1 million acres of productive farm land each year to urban develop ment, a loss of topsoil roughly equivalent to that being saved by federal erosion control efforts,” stated the congressmen. “A na tional problem of this magnitude deserves national attention. Farm ers who have been turned away from state and local programs be cause of a lack of resources de serve federal support to help them meet their goals.” Edward fhompsofi'Jr., director of public policy for American Farmland Trust, applauded the congressmen for recognizing the need to step up federal support of state and local farmland protection Programs. AFT, a national farm land conservation group, today is- sued a report calling for greater federal assistance. “It’s time the federal govern ment shifts its conservation priori ties somewhat,” said Thompson. “Although we are paving over as much soil as we conserve, we are spending 200 times less on farm land protection than soil conserva tion. A shift of less than S percent of erosion control funds into CHAMBERSBURG (Franklin Co.) The Franklin County 4-H Beef Club held a show at the Franklin County Fair.
