Land Trust works to keep SC agricultural land down on the farm

South Carolina is growing fast, with new homes, businesses and roads spreading into rural areas, putting more pressure on farm families to sell land, some of which has been in agriculture for generations. The South Carolina Farm Bureau Land Trust offers another choice. The nonprofit buys development rights through permanent conservation easements. Farmers keep ownership but cannot develop the land. Gary Spires, executive director of the South Carolina Farm Bureau Federation, leads the trust project. He said the agreement helps families plan for the next generation.

I think that gives folks some peace of mind," Spires explained. Spires noted farmers can continue farming, raising livestock, harvesting timber or hunting but cannot develop the land for nonagricultural purposes. He added the trust focuses only on working farms and forests. It has closed 40 easements covering about 15,000 acres in less than four years. He pointed out interest is strong, with a waiting list of more than two years. Patrick Myers, co-owner and operator of
