Western Pennsylvania farming profits under scrutiny in road survey
The Tre DisPatcn road expedition reports preliminary findings from nearly a dozen counties on Western Pennsylvania farming.

The overall view: with hard work and prudent economy, farmers can earn a fair living and save for old age, though profits overall have fallen in farming, and manufacturing and business capital face similar pressure.
