Conservation and Agricultural Easements

Conservation and Agricultural Easements Series

A conservation easement or agricultural easement may be the right tool for you to pass on your farm to the next generation or make the sale of your farm to a farmer more affordable to them while providing you with needed financial resources.

Each of these half-hour presentations will help you learn what easements are and how they work so you can decide if placing an easement on your land is right for you.
