Ag Preservation Protecting Farms

The PA Agricultural Land Preservation Easement Purchase Program of Susquehanna County, which is administered by the Susquehanna County Conservation District, is having an application period from November 15th 2016 to January 15th 2017. This program purchases conservation easements from landowners to help protect the farming heritage of Susquehanna County.

An agricultural conservation easement is a legal restriction on land development that limits the use of land to agricultural purposes. Applications are ranked according to soil quality, development potential, and farmland and clustering potential.  The highest ranking farm is considered for purchase first.  The farm is then appraised to determine the easement value.

Currently the PA Agricultural Land Preservation Program has purchased 6,226 acres in Susquehanna County and has paid over 9 Million to 31 landowners for their easements.

When a program participant was asked about the program, Rebecca Place stated, “This is a wonderful program, it helped us pay off our mortgages and helped us keep this farm running”.
