Secretary of Agriculture
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.) Agriculture
Secretary Sam Hayes announced that 34 Pennsyl
vania farms totaling 3,545 acres in 17 counties were
approved for preservation by the Pennsylvania
Farmland Preservation Board at its November
meeting.
“Other states look to Pennsylvania’s farmland
preservation initiative as a national model,” Hayes
said. “As Gov. Schweiker recently announced, we
have surpassed our goal of preserving 2,002 farms
in 2002. This effort would not be possible without
the support of the governor and state lawmakers
committed to saving Pennsylvania’s farmland.”
Hayes noted that the approval of 34 farms with
3,545 acres brings Pennsylvania’s total preservation
effort for 2002 to a total of 262 farms totaling
29,054 acres.
