for each land use. Did you realize that each
poultry farmer feeds 11.9 people? A section on
the amount of people we feed with the food we
produce is included in the brochure.
The value of Lancaster County’s farms com
pared to total Pennsylvania agriculture is high
lighted on the brochure.
Consider distributing the Farm Facts to your
neighbors to help build a greater understanding
for what you do on your farm and its impor
tance. You might consider taking the time to
provide the brochure to your township officials
to review the importance of agriculture to your
township. You could also provide copies to your
school district to offer as a resource for teachers
to educate students about agriculture. These are
just a few examples of uses for the Farm Facts.
If you live outside Lancaster County, you might
consider developing a similar brochure to use for
agriculture education in your county.
To obtain free copies of the Farm Facts bro
chure, contact The Lancaster Chamber. To view
