Twin Falls FSA Newsletter on “Selling Land”

I just received a newsletter from Twin Falls Farm Service Agency (FSA).  It included an article about some issues to be aware when selling farmland that is in a Conservation Program.   The article said,  “If you are planning to sell farmland, there may be some program consequences you should be aware of.  Fore example, if you’re planning to sell land that’s enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program, the buyer must agree to continue the enrollment.  If the buyer doesn’t want to continue the CRP contract, you might have to refund all the payments you’ve received to date.

Reviewing program implications with your local Farm Service Agency staff before completing a sale of farmland is always a prudent precaution.”
