Have you seen what people leave along trails? Trash, dog and human feces. Plus people would assume they can just hike off the trail wherever they want, causing liability issues for the farmer.

Pa law says there's no liability for allowing a trail on your property.

Have you seen the trash on our roads? Do we never build another trail again?

Trash can break equipment, so that is a huge issue. And farmers are rhe 9nea who clean up the edges of their fields, why would they want another area they need to pick up after?

And when those people go off the trail and on to private property? Even if they don't win, the farmer still has to have a lawyer to fight it. Plus the farmers insurance will increase to cover possible issues that can arise.

Trash can kill livestock. Cows will eat metal objects and it will rip apart their digestive system.

You obviously have never been or known a farmer.

I’m not sure that the OP has done much of anything other than try to steal peoples land.

I live adjacent to a 100 acre park with an active crop farm and people walk around it daily. I live 15 mins from a larger state park which contains crop Fields. Again, trails are right along the edges. There's clearly situations that allow these two things to coexist. The real question is why your tiny mind can't comprehend or imagine that real world use case.

Because I have seen farmers loose cattle and spend $$ on broken equipment Because people feel they have the right to open land that is near the trails. So my tiny mind focused on the farm who is just breaking even on most days of he is lucky
