Bryn Roshong is a farmer from Gardiner, NY. She faces a real dilemma- can she safely grow food for her neighbors on land covered with gas wells? She is not willing to farm fracked land. Where can she go? What will happen to her plans for the future as a farmer? Will the beautiful NY landscape provide her and us with nutritious food in the future? Or will we allow our soil to be virtually murdered by toxic chemicals? As Bryn points out, there is no way to restore contaminated soil and water. Ruined land cannot be used for growing anything ever again. At least not in our lifetimes.

In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum. In the summer, we spent time there, resting, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the wild flowers, the bright stars and planets on a clear moonlit night, and swimming in the Susquehanna River. If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.
