er the ranking. The smaller the
dollars spent per acre, the higher
the ranking. The higher percent of
acres of the total farm offered, the
higher the ranking and lastly the
larger the number of acres offered
the higher the ranking. The impor
tant thing to remember is that
while you are involved, Bemie
gets the pleasure of doing most of
the work,” Ziegenfus stated.

Warren Lamm finished the
program explaining the sale pro
cedure. “First a contract of sale
must be prepared. A deed must be
executed and title insurance pro
cured. Than the board recom-
mends the purchase to the state
board. There is very little likeli
hood that the state board would
not accept our recommendations.
We also want to encourage all
program participants to consult
someone experienced in the area
of tax considerations. The only
thing we know at this time is that
the purchase will not be subjected
to the realty transfer tax,” Lamm
said.
If farmers are unable to submit
their preliminary applications by
January 31, another round will
start on February 1.
