UNITY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — The search for a woman who is believed to have fallen into a sinkhole in western Pennsylvania shifted to a recovery effort after two treacherous days of digging through mud and rock produced no signs of life, authorities said Wednesday. Pennsylvania State Police spokesperson Trooper Steve Limani said during a news conference that authorities no longer believe they will find 64-year-old Elizabeth Pollard alive, but the search for her remains continues. “We’ve had no signs of any form of life or anything” to make rescuers think they should “continue to try and push and rush and push the envelope, to be aggressive with the potential of risking harm to other people,” Limani said. He noted oxygen levels below ground were insufficient. Emergency crews and others have tried to locate Pollard for two days. Her relatives reported her missing early Tuesday and her vehicle with her unharmed 5-year-old granddaughter inside was found about two hours later, near the sinkhole above a long closed, crumbling mine. Rescue workers continue to search for Elizabeth Pollard, who is believed to have disappeared in a sinkhole while looking for her cat, Wednesday in Marguerite, Pa. “We feel like we failed,” Limani said of the decision to change the status of the effort from a rescue to a recovery. “It’s tough.” Limani praised the crews who went into the abandoned mine to help remove material in the search for Pollard in the village of Marguerite, about 40 miles east of Pittsburgh.. “They would come out of there head to toe covered in mud, exhausted. And while they were getting pulled up, the next group’s getting dropped in. And there was one after the next after the next,” Limani said. Authorities said earlier that the roof of the mine collapsed in several places and was not stable. “We did get, you know, where we wanted, where we thought that she was at. We’ve been to that spot," Pleasant Unity Fire Chief John Bacha, the incident's operations officer, said earlier Wednesday. “What happened at that point, I don’t know, maybe the slurry of mud pushed her one direction. There were several different seams of that mine, shafts that all came together where this happened at.” Searchers used electronic devices and cameras as surface digging continued with the use of heavy equipment, Bacha said. In coming days, they plan to greatly widen the surface hole, with winter weather forecast in the region. Rescue workers search through the night in a sinkhole for Elizabeth Pollard, who disappeared while looking for her cat, Tuesday in Marguerite, Pa. Sinkholes occur in the area because of subsidence from coal mining activity. Rescuers used water to break down and remove clay and dirt from the mine, which has been closed since the 1950s. Pollard's family called police about 1 a.m. Tuesday to say she had not been seen since going out at about 5 p.m. Monday to search for Pepper, her cat. The temperature dropped well below freezing that night. Limani said the searchers met with her family before announcing the shift from rescue to recovery. The top of a sinkhole is seen Tuesday in the village of Marguerite, Pa., where rescuers searched for a woman who disappeared. Police said they found Pollard's car parked behind Monday's Union Restaurant in Marguerite, about 20 feet from the sinkhole. Hunters and restaurant workers in the area said they had not noticed the manhole-size opening in the hours before Pollard disappeared, leading rescuers to speculate the sinkhole was new. Pollard lived in a small neighborhood across the street from where her car and granddaughter were found by state police. It's unclear what happened to the cat. In an era of rapid technological advancement and environmental change, American agriculture is undergoing a revolution that reaches far beyond the farm gate. From the food on consumer plates to the economic health of rural communities, the transformation of U.S. farming practices is reshaping the nation's landscape in ways both visible and hidden. LandTrust explores how these changes impact everyone, whether they live in the heartland or the heart of the city. The image of the small family farm, while still a reality for many, is increasingly giving way to larger, more technologically advanced operations. According to the USDA, the number of farms in the U.S. has fallen from 6.8 million in 1935 to about 2 million today, with the average farm size growing from 155 acres to 444 acres. This shift has profound implications for rural communities and the food system as a whole. Despite these changes, diversity in farming practices is on the rise. A landmark study published in Science , involving data from over 2,000 farms across 11 countries, found that diversifying farmland simultaneously delivers environmental and social benefits. This challenges the longstanding idea that practices boosting biodiversity must come at a cost to yields and food security. The adoption of precision agriculture technologies is transforming how farmers manage their land and resources. GPS-guided tractors, drone surveillance, and AI-powered crop management systems are becoming commonplace on many farms. These technologies allow farmers to apply water, fertilizers, and pesticides with pinpoint accuracy, reducing waste and environmental impact while improving yields. However, the digital divide remains a challenge. More than 22% of rural communities lack reliable broadband internet access, hindering the widespread implementation of AI and other advanced technologies in agriculture. While technology offers new opportunities, farmers are also facing significant economic challenges. The USDA's 2024 farm income forecast projects a 4.4% decline in net farm income from 2023, following a sharp 19.5% drop from 2022 to 2023. This financial pressure is compounded by rising production costs and market volatility. Climate variability adds another layer of complexity. Extreme weather events, changing precipitation patterns, and shifting growing seasons are forcing farmers to adapt quickly. These factors could reduce agricultural productivity by up to 25% over the coming decades without significant adaptation measures. But adapting requires additional financial resources, further straining farm profitability. In the face of these challenges, many farmers are turning to diversification as a strategy for resilience and profitability. The Science study mentioned earlier found that farms integrating several diversification methods supported more biodiversity while seeing simultaneous increases in human well-being and food security. Agritourism is one popular diversification strategy. In 2022, 28,600 U.S. farms reported agritourism income, averaging gross revenue of $44,000 from these activities. Activities like farm tours, pick-your-own operations, and seasonal festivals not only provide additional income but also foster a deeper connection between consumers and agriculture. The changing face of agriculture is directly impacting consumers. The rise of farm-to-table and local food movements reflects a growing interest in where our food comes from and how it's produced. If every U.S. household spent just $10 per week on locally grown food, it would generate billions of dollars for local economies. However, the larger challenges in agriculture can also lead to price fluctuations at the grocery store. The USDA's Economic Research Service projects that food-at-home prices will increase between 1.2% and 2.2% in 2024. Looking ahead, several innovations are poised to reshape agriculture: The transformation of American agriculture affects everyone, from the food we eat to the health of our environment and rural communities. Consumers have the power to support sustainable and diverse farming practices through our purchasing decisions. As citizens, they can advocate for policies that support farmers in adopting innovative and sustainable practices. The challenges facing agriculture are complex, but they also present opportunities for innovation and positive change. By understanding and engaging with these issues, everyone can play a part in shaping a more resilient, sustainable, and equitable food system for the future.

Keir Starmer will pledge this week to undertake the most ambitious programme for government “in a generation”, as he sets out new targets to refocus his premiership amid falling approval ratings and the first resignation from his cabinet. In a political gamble designed to draw a line under the bumpy opening months in office, it is understood that the prime minister will tie himself to a series of political milestones to cut NHS waiting lists and crime and improve living standards and early years education. They are designed to demonstrate tangible improvements to voters’ lives and be delivered by the next election. It comes after frustrations over early missteps that have led to a reorganisation in Downing Street. In preparation for his address later this week, Starmer will summon civil society, union and business figures on Monday to call on them to work with his government to deliver the refined programme. “This plan for change is the most ambitious, yet honest, programme for government in a generation,” Starmer said. “Mission-led government does not mean picking milestones because they are easy or will happen anyway. It means relentlessly driving real improvements in the lives of working people. “No doubt there will be obstacles along the way, but this government was elected on a mandate of change and our plan reflects the priorities of working people. Given the unprecedented challenges we have inherited, we will not achieve this by simply doing more of the same.” Starmer will stand by controversial moves to and dramatically scale back the winter fuel allowance, as well as bind his ministers to the new pledges. Key targets are likely to cover housebuilding and NHS waiting times, in what is being described as the first half of a “decade of national renewal”. There will also be an attempt to recast the aim of fostering economic growth with a measure that more tangibly puts “working people’s priorities first”. Insiders insist the measures will be genuinely challenging. However, it is understood that Starmer will not include a target for reducing net migration, despite his surprise press conference last week in which he ”. Downing Street strongly denied the address was a “reset”, claiming it had been long-planned and reflected Starmer’s pre-election focus on “mission-led” government. However, it comes with the business backlash continuing from the chancellor Rachel Reeves’ tax-raising budget. Meanwhile, the latest Opinium poll for the confirms that Starmer has taken a heavy personal hit since winning office earlier this year. Starmer’s first net approval rating as prime minister – the difference between those who think he is performing well or badly – stood at +19%. He now has a net approval of -32%. It includes a drop of 8 points in the past fortnight. Labour has also lost ground in recent months on being considered the best to handle living costs such as housing. The Conservatives now have a 1-point lead on reducing the costs of mortgages. In September, Labour had a 6-point lead. Starmer still leads Kemi Badenoch in terms of who voters see as the best prime minister, by 23% to 18%. It also comes with anger among allies of Louise Haigh, the former transport secretary who after it emerged she had a 2014 conviction for wrongly reporting a mobile phone stolen to the police. They claim Starmer was fully aware of the conviction when he appointed her to his shadow cabinet in 2020. Her supporters said that Starmer had lost one of his most proactive ministers. “She was the minister for getting things done,” said one sympathiser, pointing to rail renationalisation and giving local authorities in England more control over bus services. This week’s strategy is the latest sign of the sweeping influence now enjoyed by Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney. He was put in place in the wake of concerns that a lack of political direction had contributed to the missteps since Labour’s landslide election winin July. The decision to unveil a series of targets comes with significant political risks. The former prime minister Rishi Sunak was lambasted for setting five “priorities” that were described as either too easy to reach or simply unachievable – such as his pledge to “stop the boats” crossing the Channel. Starmer’s new milestones will be the focus of the next review of public spending, scheduled for June. While insiders played down the early troubles of the government, they said that the operation has become more coherent since McSweeney’s appointment at the heart of No 10 and the whom some blame for a lack of preparation for power. McSweeney, who masterminded the last election campaign, is already said to be wholly focused on winning a second term. It also comes after a frustrating few opening months during which Starmer has been criticised over accepting gifts, and suffered a backlash over plans to increase inheritance tax on farmlands, slash the winter fuel allowance and increase national insurance paid by employers. Downing Street has also had to row back on Reeves’s claim that she was “not coming back with more borrowing or more taxes”. The government’s official line is now that no tax rises on the same scale will be needed. Adam Drummond, head of political and social research at Opinium, said: “After a brief improvement post-budget, Keir Starmer’s ratings are back below -30 and Labour’s scores on various issues are down. That being said, Starmer still leads Kemi Badenoch as ‘best prime minister’ and the Conservatives remain behind on most issues. “Five months after the country sacked the last government, it simply seems they don’t notice much in the way of improvements and are losing faith in the replacements they hired. Voters, and the government, must be hoping that things can only get better.”
