Centre County farms work to offset losses after spring freeze left little fruit to pick

In early April, temperatures in central Pennsylvania climbed well above normal and hit 85 degrees. During this brief moment of warmth, the apple trees on Harner Farm grew their flower buds in white and pink, two weeks ahead of schedule. Then cold weather came overnight on April 20. By morning, a freeze had settled across several East Coast states. In Centre County, temperatures fell into the 20s. Since the warmth forced Harner Farm’s flowers to bloom early, just a few hours coated in the freeze was enough to destroy every single one, said Chris Harner, its owner. Not a single tree grew an apple to pick — a similar reality for many farms across the state. Last week, $10 million in state disaster relief grants were issued to 319 Pennsylvania fruit growers in 48 counties to help offset the losses. Harner Farm was bought by Harner’s grandfather in 1945. Though it’s grappled with weather damaging its crops before, the current owner said it hasn’t faced this kind of total devastation in over 30 years. This fall, local, college students and a few regulars still visited the farm to browse pumpkins too heavy to carry and take photos near the sweet

What Pennsylvania Law Says About Burning Leaves In Your Yard

A pile of crunchy maple leaves can be perfectly legal to burn in one town and against the rules a few miles away. That patchwork surprised me the first time I looked into it. State environmental rules in Pennsylvania focus heavily on smoke, and some valley regions face much tighter limits than rural hillsides.

Pa. updates veterans’ benefit rules in biggest changes in 35 years

Annville, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs has updated regulations for several state benefit programs in what it calls the most extensive changes to Pennsylvania veterans’ benefits in 35 years. The changes broaden and clarify eligibility requirements, change income limits and add cost-of-living expense allowances in need-based programs, the department said Nov. 2, during National Veterans and Military Families Month. Programs affected include the Disabled Veterans’ Real Estate Tax Exemption, the Amputee & Paralyzed Veterans’ Pension, the Blind Veterans’ Pension, Veterans’ Temporary Assistance and the Educational Gratuity program. “What this means is that Pennsylvania’s nearly 650,000 veterans will have greater access to benefits they have earned in service to this nation,” said Maj. Gen. John Pippy, Pennsylvania’s adjutant general and head of the department. “We look forward to our continued work with the General Assembly on constitutional and statutory amendments to further broaden eligibility for the benefits programs.” The department suggests veterans contact their county director of veterans affairs or any certified veteran service officer to learn how the changes may affect their benefits. There is no charge for a benefits review or for help applying. Updated application documents and more information are available from the
