[QUOTE="Mark Reynolds, post: 1816248, member: 43196"] I understand what you are saying. I am not an easement specialist or expert either, so I don't have all the answers here. I do not know the extent of the statement "leave it like it is" and how far that goes. However, the definition of conservation is "wise use", so there are things that can be done on these parcels of land. For example, I know for a fact that these parcels of land can and do have/allow EQIP (Environmental Quality Incentive Program) contracts on them, as well as other NRCS programs that involve conservation improvement practices. I do not know if there are any practices that are within these programs that are/would be prohibited. That would be a question for the easement specialist. I do not think of an easement as a restriction on a piece of property that is a "will only allow x, y and z". I think of it more of as a ban that "does not allow a, b and c". With that in mind, I don't see an easement being a ban to newly developed conservation practices somewhere down the road. There may be some interpretation of the easement that has to take place as well. Again, its a question better answered by an easement specialist than me. [/QUOTE]
