Dear Board,
Farmers are generally regarded as good stewards of the land that they farm. Because they are held in that regard they will fight many of these regulations to the bitter end. They are already fighting the regulations in NY State so PA is sure to follow.
Great irony lies in the fact that the watermen of the Chesapeake Bay who can no longer harvest oysters or net fish will have to get "real jobs" because farming is in the blood of those upstream and those people upstream will change their ways grudgingly, if at all.
Regards,
Tim Murphy
