Have you heard about the rumblings to undue the Farmland Protection Program in WV. Some are circulating a proposed change to make the farmland easement NOT in perpetuity. Rather they would make it last only 25 years. This would conflict with the Federal program and WV would loose its ability to offer “Farmland Protection” under the Federal program. No bill has been written. Lavonne Paden is the State Director of the program.
Those against it would be average greedy developers who are always on the prow for a big chunk of land to buy and cut up. Farmers and citizens generally support the program.
