Northeast Pennsylvania Dairy Farms:  Trend by County
Northeast Pennsylvania, consisting of the counties of Bradford, Pike, Wayne, Lackawanna, Wyoming & Susquehanna, has lost 34% of its dairy farms in the past 10 years.  Pike County now has zero.  In 2009 the price farmers get for their milk is expected to remain severely depressed vs. prior years.  The federal milk marketing order process needs to be reformed.  If you are interested in showing your support, please contact your local Congressman and Senators.  Click

Preserved Farmland:  Highland Farm
Highland Farm was officially accepted into the Wayne County Agricultural Land Preservation Program on Monday, December 29th.  On that date, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Wayne County jointly purchased the development rights on the farm's land.  The farm cannot be subdivided for house lots or other purposes and will remain as farmland or open space for perpituity.  This event
is a milestone for Bill Bryant.  Bill is a lifelong proponent of farmland preservation, and his family has been farming this land for 170 years.  Here's to another 170!
