Eastern Shore of MD | Very common to preserve farmland here by selling development rights. I think nearly 50% of actual farmland in MD has been preserved. But most has been done by a state program called MALPF and some thru fed programs also. Personally I do not know anything about Farmland Trust. The deed of easement will explain the restrictions being placed on the property in exchange for payment. Most easements here are perpetual so not a decision to be entered into lightly. It is also common to retain one housing development right per farm/ parcel. | |
