[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1816033, member: 43196"] I appreciate that you are not wanting to secure a conservation easement for monetary reasons and have as the goal protecting the land from development. However, like it or not, you are going to get paid for the easement. If you are concerned about this aspect, you might want to talk to 'Pam' (see my message) and your accountant (I'm guessing about tax implications). I understand your reluctance about working with a government agency. Government agencies are often thought of as being regulatory and over-reaching. The NRCS strives to be different from that. Specifically, we are designed to be non-regulatory, quite the opposite of what government agencies are thought of. Our mission is to "Help People Help the Land". We strive to identify and address 'resource concerns' or rather existing conservation problems and fix them with program funding assistance, not regulate, punish, fine and force producers to pay for their problems. As for finding someone with an existing conservation easement to get information from, let alone multiple producers, I think you might have some difficulty with that.
