The preservation of our county's farmland is a crucial factor in the conservation struggle. The program is designed to preserve the most productive farmland by means of a perpetual agricultural conservation easement. A perpetual agricultural conservation easement is a way of preventing development on the farmland permanently. Through this program the landowners sell the development right on the farm to the state and/or County. The landowner is fairly compensated for selling this right. In turn, the state and/or County is able to prevent further development. The state and/or County would only own this one specific right to the farm, the landowner would retain all other property rights and is still the owner of the farm.
