Soil:
The Foundation of Farming...
Most
people in DeKalb County appreciate our "town and country"
way of life - the sense of space, the beauty of our
farmlands, and the slower, friendlier pace of life.
However, almost all of us feel alone and helpless to
take a stand against urban sprawl.
DeKalb
County Farmland Foundation has an answer... The DeKalb
County Farmland Foundation (DCFF) is a non-profit organization
dedicated to the preservation of farmland in DeKalb
County. We are actively seeking the donation or purchase
of conservation easements (development rights) to farmland.
The best market-based method of preserving endangered
farmland is to obtain conservation easements.
These
easements would not allow any development, construction,
or any non-farm use of the protected farmland. Easements
can be donated by farmland owners dedicated to preserving
their land, gaining them a measure of federal and state
tax relief. |
