The PA Agricultural Land Preservation Easement Purchase Program of Susquehanna County, which is administered by the Susquehanna County Conservation District, has purchased the development rights on the David A. Grosvenor and Barbara R. Grosvenor Farm located in Dimock Township. A perpetual easement placed on this property helps preserve the rural nature of the township and contributes to maintaining a critical agriculture mass in the area. The Grosvenor’s farm is the 30th farm purchased in Susquehanna County, bringing the total acres preserved to 5,940.
Pictured (l-r): back row - Jim Garner, Conservation District Manager; Jim Kessler, Ag Preservation Board member; Rueben Everitt, Ag Preservation Board member; Dennis LaRue, Vice Chairman; Michael Gathany, Susquehanna Co. Solicitor; MaryAnn Warren, County Commissioner representative to the Ag Preservation Board; Laura Holbrook, Program Administrator, Ted Place, Chairman Ag Preservation Board; seated Barbara Grosvenor and David Grosvenor.
The Grosvenor farm is an owner/operator replacement heifer operation consisting of 69 acres. Conservation practices currently in use are hayland management, manure management, and roof runoff management. The Grosvenor’s have also installed water control structures on their farm.
An agricultural conservation easement is a legal restriction on land development that limits the use of land to agricultural purposes. The application period runs from November 15th through January 15th each year. Applications are ranked according to soil quality, development potential, farm land potential and clustering potential. The highest ranking farm is considered for purchase first. The farm is then appraised to determine the easement value.
