The Pennsylvania State Farm Bureau is supporting farmers' preference to outlaw Sunday hunting in the state, according to the York Daily Record.
Their stance was especially prominent at last week's annual meeting in Hershey, where the summit considered 158 resolutions. Two of those resolutions were germane to hunting on Sundays.
"Pennsylvania farmers have spoken once again on the issue of Sunday hunting and, once again, they have emphatically stated that they want a day of peace and quiet on Sundays, where they can work less and enjoy more time with family and friends around the farm," farm bureau president Carl T. Shaffer told the publication.
The farm bureau stood united when turning down a motion presented on the delegate floor to adjust the Sunday hunting policy. Delegates from 54 county farm bureaus representing 67 Pennsylvania counties rejected resolutions to permit Sunday hunting.
WHPTV reports the farm bureau's 61st annual meeting was at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center from Monday through Wednesday of last week. The summit aims to establish policy for the the organization regarding issues germane to farm and rural families.
