A2B—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 23,1984
Ag Preserve Board holds
seminar for professionals
LANCASTER - About 75
professionals gathered at the
Brunswick Motor Inn in Lancaster
last Friday for an Agricultural
Land Preservation Seminar.
Sponsored by the Lancaster
County Agricultural Preserve
Board and the Lancaster County
Bar Association, the seminar was
designed to acquaint professionals
with the preservation board’s work
and to discuss the legal and
financial aspects of farmland
preservation in Lancaster County.
County Commissioner James
Huber opened the morning session,
noting that a recent citizen sur
vey indicated that ag preservation
is a number one priority in the
county. Huber said that the
preservation board has traveled
“a long, hard road” since its in
ception in 1980
Amos Funk, chairman of the
preserve board, said that response
to the deed restriction program
has been good, with farmers
voluntarily participating.
Preserve Board Director Alan R.
Musselman, talked about the
Preservation Deed Restriction
Program. Under the program, he
explained, farmers have four
options to obtain deed restrictions
on their farms. A farmer can agree
to put a deed restriction on his land
without receiving payment, or he
can receive payment from the
county for putting a restriction on
the farm for a period of 25 years or
more. Another option, Musselman
said, is having the county purchase
a farm, place a deed restriction oh
the land and then resell it. A far
mer could also sign an agreement
with the county giving the county
first right to purchase his farm if it
is going to be sold. That way,

Musselman said, the county could
buy the land, put a restriction on it
and resell it.
“Our hope is that the next
generation will not opt to ter
minate deed restrictions,”
Musselman said.
Later in the program James H.
Thomas, Esquire, from Wenger,
Byler and Thomas spoke on the
legal perspectives of farmland
preservation; CPA Marlin
Benedict from Simon Lever and
Company spoke on taxes and
estate planning; Clifford Huffman,
ARA, spoke on preservation land

Jr., Esquire, from the American

studies.
