Dairy farmers David
and Cindy Wolfskill were approved in January for a $400,000 state loan to buy
76 acres in South Heidelberg and Wernersville.
They plan to grow crops on the farmland, which is between Lincoln Road and the railroad
tracks, to support their dairy operations, according to the state Industrial Development Authority. The 15-year loan has a 2.25 percent rate for the first
seven years. The total project cost is estimated to be $800,000.
In March, the Wolfskills bought that parcel and a 105-acre property
adjacent to it, which abuts Krick Lane, for $2.4 million, according to county
records. A bank had given them a bridge loan.
The Wolfskills did not reply to requests for comment.
The family has been featured for winning yield contests. For
example, Wolfskill placed second in 2014 and 2015 in the Pennsylvania soybean
yield contest.
