    My brother Chris and I wanted to maintain the farm where we grew up. We found the Farmland Preservation Application process to be simple and we were informed at every step. If you want to maintain farmland, this program is for you.

  • – Jerry and Pat Downing

    We signed up for the Conservation Reserve Program on our small 200 acre farm. The program has made a difference for the soil. We have pheasants, rabbits and deer. It’s a little bit of work and management, but overall, it’s profitable.
