How We Work Together
Our land management team works closely with landowners to help them accomplish their long-term goals and objectives for their land.
We look for maximizing the return on the land, minimizing the landowner’s management burden, securing the property, and reducing the landowner’s liability exposure. We review qualifications of the land for “Greenbelt” property tax assessment (a provision allowing land to be taxed at its agricultural use value rather than it’s fair market value as long as the land is used for “bona fide” agriculture).
We can suggest other programs that are conservation-effective and income-producing, such as CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) conservation reserve for soil, water, and related natural resources; and EQUIP (Environmental Quality Incentives Program), a program that promotes agricultural production and environmental quality.
