The annual American Farmland Trust survey of state farm and ranch - TopicsExpress



          

The annual American Farmland Trust survey of state farm and ranch land protection programs shows a 19 percent increase in funding from 2011 to 2012, but funding levels are still 39 percent below where they were in 2008. If states had continued the same level of funding they had in 2008, we would have saved an additional 358,000 acres of agricultural land and purchased 2,000 additional farmland conservation easements. Thats the gap AFT is working hard to narrow with our state partners. - Andrew McElwaine, President and CEO of AFT
