The family farm-losing a way of life?
Length: 6 minutes
The Wright family farm is one of the last surviving open spaces
in a rapidly growing area. But farmland here is hard to keep. New
housing developments in the area result in both increased traffic
and taxes. A proposed extension to the Interstate would wipe out
the family's farm completely.
Produced by the Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania for the GreenWorks
for Pennsylvania television episode entitled, "Faces
of the Farm."
