[QUOTE="Dave, post: 256457, member: 498"] There are a number of different conservation easements and they probably all work slightly differently. But for example the NRCS Grassland Reserve Program is designed to preseve grassland (duh). They calculate what your land is worth for development and what it is worth for grazing. They pay you the difference between those two figures. So if the land is worth $5,000 an acre for development and $500 as grazing land you get $4,500 per acre. An easement is put on the title of the land and it can not be developed. So it is grassland forever. But it remains yor land to do as you please as long as it remains grassland. There are some other minor limitations but I can't remember what they are. CRP is a very common conservation easement program in the west. It is one with a limited time as oppsed to the GRP which goes on forever. As I said there are a nmber of different programs federal, state, and private. Some are very set in their structure and some are very flexible and can be customized to meet the landowners needs. Dave [/QUOTE]
