Pennsylvania farmer refuses to move over Berlin Reservoir price
Ross McElldowney and his family remain living under flood conditions as water encroaches toward their 97 acre farm west of Youngstown. Heckled by rising reservoir needs for war work, he asked $12,500 after appraisers offered $9,700 and noted the farm previously sold for $11,000. The case pits local farming against federal compensation plans amid ongoing flood risk.
