[QUOTE="Auburn_Ag, post: 256464, member: 4333"] Bucky I have seen a lot of good land go under various different conservation easement programs. Personally would never do it. I could see where it would be good for like wetlands or woodlands that could not be used for building purposes, but that is it. Who’s to say that some day these type of lands would not be used for something good for the community. For example, our beaches, 100 years a go you could buy beach front for pennies on the dollar, because it was not good for farming. However look at it today. When you buy property you get in theory a bundle of rights. If you sale to one of these groups that want to put a conservation easement, you are giving up one of those right, which most of the time is to prevent any type of buildings to be built, including barns. Buying property without all of its rights is like buying a car with no engine. I know these environmental groups have there place, but who were the first environmentalist, FARMER and RANCHER!!! The land, one way or another is livelihood of Farmers and Ranchers. A lot of people seem to for get that. [/QUOTE]
