LAND USE CONFERENCE JANUARY 11, 2013 OSU 4-H CENTER Linking Economic Development & Agricultural Easements 1

Linking Agricultural Easements & Economic Development Agricultural Easement Purchase Program (AEPP) Funded by the Clean Ohio Bond Fund Passed by the voters in 2000 Renewed by voters in all 88 counties in 2008 Purchases permanent easements on land in agricultural production from willing sellers Purpose of the easement: keep land in production and provide a nucleus of permanent farmland which supports other farms & agribusinesses 2

Agricultural Easement Purchase Program Easements are monitored annually Easements are recorded and run with the property If a new owner purchases the farm they must comply with the provisions of the easement Easements are enforced on behalf of Federal, State and Local Sponsors who purchased them 3

AEPP Statewide program ( ) Awarded points for communities that had Created Agricultural Security Areas (ASAs) Set aside farmland in adopted Land Use Plans* Zoned land for agricultural production Budgeted for administering an agricultural easement program *includes Balanced Growth Plans 5

New Localized AEPP Program for 2013 Transfers easements selection to Local Sponsors Local Sponsors: Counties, townships, cities, Soil & Water Conservation Districts and Land Trusts Points are again awarded for counties with ASAs Land Use Plans or Balanced Growth Plans that set aside land for agricultural production Agricultural Zoning Agricultural Economic Development Plans 6

While there are other criteria, the Department of Agriculture’s position is that if the applicant’s community demonstrates that preserving the state’s largest industry is important to them, that community is more likely to receive AEPP funds. 7

Landowners Invest in their Communities AEPP is essentially an economic development program for medium sized farms Easement proceeds can be spent for any legal purpose: Additional fields New equipment New buildings Expand operations Pay off debt Purchase an annuity 8
