DARLINGTON TWP., Pa. - Pennsylvania-based U.S. Senator, John Fetterman visited a farm in Darlington on Wednesday and spoke with some farmers from both Beaver and Lawrence Counties about the impact the East Palestine train derailment has had on them.

Fetterman toured a dairy farm in Enon Valley speaking with the owner and his family about the farm's history dating back to the Revolutionary War, its day-to-day operations and the lingering impacts the derailment has had on these operations.

After this, Fetterman met up with even more local farmers for a roundtable meeting listening to their agricultural concerns in anticipation of the upcoming Farm Bill negotiations in the Senate Committee of Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.

“It was an honor and a privilege to sit down with the hardworking farmers of Beaver and Lawrence Counties to hear their concerns following the train derailment in East Palestine, what they want to see from my office moving forward after the derailment, and to hear their wider agricultural concerns ahead of Farm Bill negotiations that are upcoming later this year,” Fetterman said.
