Hershey Receives Friend Of Beginning Farmer Award MANHEIM (Lancaster Co.) As a farmer and a leg islator, Rep. Arthur Hershey (R-13) of Cochranville un derstands the need to help new farmers get started, par ticularly in rapidly urbanizing areas such as Chester County. The 10-term lawmaker has deep roots in the limestone soils of Chester County, where his oldest son, Duane, op erates the 350-cow family farm that Hershey started in 1959. Putting his words into actions, Hershey demonstrated his commitment to helping the next generation get started by beginning the planning process with Duane when he was only six. Although Hershey was dedicated to treating his four children fairly, he realized that that doesn’t necessarily mean equally. When setting up the farm transfer, he took into consideration the many years his son had helped on the farm and his investment in the farm. A supportive spouse is essential too, he says, so he rec ommends waiting until a child has married and both are interested in a farming venture. He believes parents should do everything possible to enable their children to succeed. He said. “ When we leave this earth, the only thing we leave are our children ... that’s something money can’t replace.” Hershey’s interests in farming go beyond his family and his farm. His dual inter ests in agriculture and the environment are il lustrated by his work as a Chester County lawmaker on the House Agriculture and Rural Affairs Commit tee and serving as chair of the Environ mental Resources and Energy Committee. As a sponsor of the Grow ing Greener legisla tion, Hershey worked to find the difficult balance between pro viding adequate fund ing to preserve the en vironment and addressing current fis cal constraints. In addition, Her shey worked to main tain Pennsylvania’s national number one standing in mushroom production by spon soring legislation along with the depart- Fmail h\ Ml for Resen ations m y<h. t?iK im im Having nightmares about overflowing manure?? sfc> w im Do you need more manure storage?

Members of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) left their mark on Capitol Hill during the 2003 Spring Conference, as more than 250 cattlemen from across the country met with key members of Congress and top government agency staff April 9-11. ments of environmental protection and agriculture that prohibit the Environmental Quality Board from apply ing specific air pollution regulations to the production of agricultural commodities. He strengthened the veteri nary industry in Pennsylvania by amending the Veteri nary Practice Act to incorporate changes important to the veterinary community and acceptable to others in volved in veterinary education, and animal rights and health care. Marion Bowlan, executive director of Pennsylvania Farm Link, said the organization initiated this award to honor those who have demonstrated a commitment to helping Pennsylvania’s beginning farmers. She said, “Hershey demonstrated his personal com mitment to beginners both personally, by actively en couraging and enabling his son to take over his farm, and legislatively, by sponsoring farm-friendly legislation and by assisting Pennsylvania Farm Link in securing funding.” Pennsylvania Farm Link is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the mission of creating farming opportuni ties for the next generation.
