Pennsylvania Deer Herd Harms Farms and Forests Balance Needed
A 1951 Potter and Monroe county study estimates each deer brings up to 181 in local business income while 97 percent goes to merchants and 3 percent to farmers. Private landowners bear most costs, with average per-farm land damage of 305 in Potter and 137 in Monroe. The piece urges balanced herds, better feed, and targeted harvest to protect forests, farms, and hunter benefits, citing USDA extension data.
