Here is a Google form that should be shared with every hunter and farmer. MANY PA Farmers want to have SUnday Hunting. They understand that THEY should be the decision makers that decide if hunting should occur on their land on a Sunday. Please check the link and PLEASE SHARE with EVERY HUNTER and FARMER you know.

Landowners altogether should decide, i dont think “farmer” makes you anymore or any less qualified. Regardless, its good to have farmers opinions n thoughts.
I agree... However, The main obstacle to Sunday Hunting in PA has been the PA Farm Bureau and here is a farmer and a County Board Member of the Farm Bureau trying to get Farmers in favor of Sunday Hunting. This is a very good thing for Sunday Hunting and hopefully gets the Farm Bureau to get on board.
Farmers shouldn't decide. All landowners shouldn't decide either. I hunt only land open to the public. Why should landowners or farmers decide that I shouldn't hunt the Pa game lands or state or national forests on sunday? Aside from that. No other landowner, or group should decide what I or anyone else does on personal property on Sunday.
The public owns the public land....so we are all landowners, especially hunters, eh?

I think maybe you guys are missing the message here. The ONLY people that currently DECIDE that you can't hunt on Sunday are the PA Legislators. Farmers, Landowners, Public Land Hunters, Private Landowners, No Pot to Piss in or a window to throw it out of owners, Stickbow hunters, Wheel bow hunters, Cross-gun hunters, ARE ALL PROHIBITED BY THE PA LEGISLATURE FROM HUNTING ON SUNDAY. No matter which group you belong to or how you Self-Identify, YOU are PROHIBITED from Hunting on Sunday. Please get on board and please call, e-mail and write to your PA Legislators to tell them you want to be the one to decide if you want to Hunt or NOT on Sunday.
