Issue Position: Agriculture

Social Media

Cumberland County is home to unrivaled beauty and natural resources. As a farmer, Barb Gleim, understands the important role that agriculture not only plays throughout the state but right here in the 199th District. Barb and her husband, Tracy, own Hayman Farms and raise Hereford beef and sell hay in Middlesex Township, and they have seen the damage that burdensome regulations and taxes have caused. Barb knows that most farmers are price takers and not price makers, so offsetting a mandated expense increase is much more difficult in this business than others. As a state representative, Barb will be able to help farmers navigate nutrient management and conservation compliance, expand technology into rural areas, and enhance manufacturing and business development, to grow farm revenue.
