In Michigan, you can elect to have your long term farm in to a
"Centennial Farm" it can never be developed and must always be be
farmed. You would receive a huge property tax break, but could
never be developed .<br>

I have another 30 acres rented that adjoins my farm to the
south. The <br clear="none">
landowner decided to dump 2 truckloads of dirt on one of
the better <br clear="none">
producing areas so his kids could have something to shoot
22 rifles <br clear="none">
into. Not concerned that my cattle were only 300 ft from
the fence <br clear="none">
line in the line of fire. I don't think they ever used
the pile, but it <br clear="none">
became a source of weeds for 300 ft north of that pile.<br
clear="none">
<br clear="none">
I lost a 160 acre field 3 years ago when a big farmer
decided he wanted <br clear="none">
it and accused me of not taking care of the place. It
turned out that <br clear="none">
the heir I was dealing with was accepting payment and not
sharing with <br clear="none">
the other heirs. I lost the field and picked up the one
that was being <br clear="none">
mowed today. The loss of the 160 was the very reason I
wanted a <br clear="none">
written contract on any future rentals. Now I was
informed that since <br clear="none">
this 110 acres is owned by 2 brothers they are surveying
it next week to <br clear="none">
split it up between their heirs. Land here is going for
over $5000/acre <br clear="none">
in large parcels. The heirs won't be able to list it for
sale fast enough.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
Unless I move 70 miles to the south on the farm that has
been rented out <br clear="none">
for over 20 years, my farming and cattle raising days are
over. By <br clear="none">
the time I could get things sold to move this boom will
be gone....<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
We have so many people moving in here from the crazy
states I don't even <br clear="none">
recognize my state any more....<br clear="none">
