“I enthusiastically endorse Susan Bucknum.  As a Penn State faculty member who has been involved with township ordinance conflicts for many years, I greatly appreciate Ms. Bucknum’s willingness to call on agricultural industry experts and investigate normal agriculture practices in order to fairly and uniformly administer the ACRE program.  Such background work was imperative to truly understanding the nuance under which the law is based.

I can’t thank her enough for her service to the citizens of Pennsylvania and the agricultural community in helping to resolve these conflicts in the face of substantial public misinformation and deep seated, but often erroneous assumptions.”
