PA newest case is a Mennonite owned farm. To date USFW and PA Ag are negotiating with the owner on a payout before eradicating the rest of the herd for testing. In the meantime, PGC is setting up the DMA and deciding where to place collection boxes for deer parts. The farmer will be getting a payout while the Sportsmen of PA get stuck footing the bill for at least 5 years. PGC used to have jurisdiction over deer farms but farmers complained that the PGC regulations were too restrictive and expensive so State House voted to transfer authority to PA Ag.
