Farm Bureau Wants
Investigation of Oil Prices
CAMP HILL (Cumberland Co.)-The
Pennsylvania Farm Bureau is urging the
state At-tomey General to investigate the
cause of recent steep in-creases in home
heating oil and diesel fuel prices which are
impacting an agricultural community
already on the ropes due to low farm prices
and the aftermath of last year’s drought.
In a letter sent this week to Attorney
General Mike Fisher, the statewide farm
organization called for prompt action on
the crisis. Farm Bureau expressed its sup
port for House Resolution 345 passed by
the House of Representatives on Feb. 2
which calls for the Attorney General to
investigate skyrocketing oil prices.
“Our farmer members are feeling the
pinch of this price increase from both the
business and personal slide,” said PA Farm
Bureau President Guy Donaldson in the
letter to Fisher. “This is leading to in
creased costs of operating mach-inery on
the farm, as well as increased costs for
hauling of commodities produced on the
farm.
“Combined with the lingering effects of
last year’s drought and severe drops in
milk and other commodity prices, many
farmers are struggling and do not need
this additional burden ”
In addition, Donaldson stated, the price
of heating oil,” ... is 60% higher than it
was this time last year and is continuing to
rise. This is making it harder for already
cash-strapped families to fully provide for
their basic needs.”
Farm Bureau is urging the Attorney
General to undertake the investigation
requested by the state House in H.R 345 to
determine the extent to which the recent
price increases, “ .. are the result of legit
imate market forces or unscrupulous busi
ness practices.”
Furthermore, Farm Bureau is request
ing the Attorney General to take any
action necessary to minimize the impact of
oil price increases, “ to consumers in
general and Pennsylvania farmers in par
ticular”

milks 350 cows in
Martinsburg in Blair
County. He is ready to
begin breaking ground
for another barn and
expects to be milking
400 to 450 cows by
mid-summer.
“I wanted to glean
some ideas, and I was
looking forward to
talking to the vendors
during Tuesday even

Huntsman.
Huntsman had
questions about bed

whatever is going to
bring the best bottom

Those who attended
the conference learned
