[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1815877, member: 24565"] "...it remains your land to do as you please" Not so. If you sign up for grassland preservation and then want to add waterlines and troughs - that is prohibited as you disturb sod. I know a guy who signed up, then wanted a few acres back to put in the end of a dam for irrigation water for the farm and was denied. 99% of the pond and dam was to be in a wooded draw that was not included. I see so much of this as heavy handed. And who can predict the future or guess at all potential options or family situations. Like thinking back 25 years and now knowing about cell towers and such. Generally, the burden is on the later generations to keep the land as-is even if the farming of it is a money losing proposition or they have no interest in farming but might want to do other farming. That forces the relatives to sell rather than lets them keep it. Some of the wetland restorations or banks are a wonderment to me. Who is really going to keep them up in 50 years? What if the money runs out: who gets the nod to pay... More of a pot at the end of the rainbow deal in a lot of ways. [/QUOTE]
