This program will focus on farmland conversation strategies that Maine Farmland Trust is using to protect Maine's farmland. Learn what an agricultural easement is, how you can transfer your farm to the next generation, and how MFT is helping farmers find affordable farmland.
This presentation will describe the importance of farmland accessibility for both farmers and communities. We will look at creative and successful ways to forge land use agreements between non-farming landowners and farmers. The discussion will include a look at issues and opportunities. We will also look at various models for keeping working lands in the hands of farmers.
At this presentation, you will learn about all the tools and resources available to guide you as you search for your dream farm, as well as get a clear idea of all the considerations you need to keep in mind throughout the whole process. Reps from Maine Farmland Trust will lead the discussion.
