LEVITTOWN (Bucks Co.)
Agriculture Secretary Samuel E.
Hayes, Jr. unveiled a new program
to promote the sale of fresh Penn
sylvania produce.
Unveiling a “Pennsylvania Pro
duce Simply Delicious” bill
board, Hayes said, ‘Today, we are
answering Gov. Tom Ridge’s
challenge to increase marketing
opportunities for Pennsylvania’s
No. 1 industry. We want to make
consumers aware of the abundant,
high-quality, nutritious fruits and
vegetables available here.”
The promotion is a public/pri
vate partnership to increase the
market for locally grown produce
by introducing supermarket buy
ers to Pennsylvania farmers.
More than 60 billboards adver
tising Pennsylvania produce will
be posted throughout the com-
now in 18 states and still growing!!

“It was the first tractor to offer a
three-point hitch,” said Barnett
Other tractors didn’t have the stan
dard three-point hitch until later.
Barnett, who once owned a strip
coal mine and who farms 100
acres, has collected 51 of the Ford

of the Ford BNs. “I’m

Barnett will drive the
remodeled and polished
tractors out on his land
to display during the
third week in October at
the Fulton County Fall
Folk Festival.
The countywide
event features all the
“old stuff in the coun
ty,” said Barnett. The
festival provides a look
into the types of equip
ment and ways of farm
ing, as well as other
ways of living, in an
older time.
At that time of year,
the leaves turn color and
people have a chance to
look back on what the
county’s agriculture has
to offer, Barnett noted.
Ford manufactured
the BNs from
1947-1952. The gas
powered models fea
tured 20 horsepower
(“about 20.4, to be
exact,” said Barnett).
' Barnett believes the
BNs to be popular
because that model,
more than any tractor, “I
figured finally took the
place of horses,” he
said. “A nice, neat trac
tor for its day.”
Barnett may have the
single largest collection
