The Greenbrier County Farmland Protection Board has established guidelines for its protection of farmland. The guidelines are published in the Greenbrier County Farmland Protection Program document. All protection of farmland under the Program is voluntary, and to be considered, the landowner must offer to place his or her farmland in a conservation easement. The Greenbrier County Farmland Protection Board protects agricultural land by acquiring a conservation easementon the property. Among other things, the conservation easement prohibits any further development or subdivision of the protected land.

Landowners may offer to sell or donate a conservation easement on their land to the Greenbrier County Farmland Protection Board. The Board may pay a landowner for a conservation easement on land that meets the Program criteria, up to the appraised value of a the conservation easement. However, because the Board has limited financial resources, it cannot accept all offers to sell an easement. Landowners offering to donate a conservation easement on their land may also be able to take advantage of the tax benefits from such a donation.
