I, along with my Senate colleagues on the commission, presented Ms. Magee with a Senate Citation for all of her years of loyalty and service. We proudly note her extraordinary commitment to the Local Government Commission and offer her best wishes and continued success in the years to come.

I was pleased to join the Stahlman family and present them with a Senate citation as they received the Century Farm Award from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture at the Pennsylvania Farm Show, today.

The Stahlman farm was purchased by Samuel Stahlman in 1845 and was passed down to his son, John S. in 1857, and then later to John’s children in 1912, before being owned by Bryon Hepler and Mark Stahlman. Paul and Linda assumed ownership in 1985, and the farm currently is 121 acres and is used for general farming.

I was proud to join them, their son and grandson, along with Rep. Donna Oberlander and Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding, to receive this well-deserved honor. This award recognizes Pennsylvania families who have been farming the same land for at least 100 years.
