Description

The Law of Agricultural Land Preservation in the United States Thomas L Daniels ISBN 9781641050708

Agriculture remains one of America’s most vital industries, generating $835 billion in economic activity in 2014—roughly 5 percent of the nation’s GDP—and employing more than 9 percent of the workforce. Yet until now, no single volume has comprehensively addressed the law governing agricultural land preservation. This book fills that gap, covering legal principles, federal and state requirements, and the issues that arise in the implementation of public and private preservation programs. It also addresses federal tax and estate law, relevant court decisions, and financial considerations that impact landowners’ efforts to preserve farmland.

Agricultural land preservation offers farmers and ranchers critical opportunities: providing capital to support operations, facilitating intergenerational transfer of the farm or ranch, and offering alternatives to selling land for development. This book delivers practical, up-to-date guidance for attorneys advising landowning clients exploring preservation options, as well as for professionals assisting private nonprofit land trusts or government agencies involved in farmland conservation.
