I am not sure that there is ever a day that anyone in agriculture can say they don't have anything to do. So why would any farmer want to run for or hold a local Elected Office. That was the question I asked myself over and over again before deciding to run for Township Supervisor. The answer I found was simple, My Future. Living and farming in South Central Pennsylvania has it's benefits and challenges. Urban sprawl is one of those challenges, I face on a day to day bases. I realized that no matter how great of an operation I had, my day to day management would not change urban sprawl. As a township supervisor, I am able to provide information and guide were population growth happens in my local area. Urban sprawl is not something that can be or should be stopped, but we do need to guide it. This country is strong because are able to feed ourselves and we need to protect that ability for future generations.
