Some Emerging Rights in Agricultural Land

John Braden ()

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1982, vol. 64, issue 1, 19-27

Abstract: Agricultural land use rights have become increasingly complex fol1owing new policies for soil conservation, nonpoint pol1ution control, wetlands protection, and farmland preservation. When viewed in a framework that distinguishes between ownership and exchange of rights, little change is evident in ownership of rights. The added complexity has come mainly in the rules governing exchanges. Farmers are confronted increasingly with rules which allow specific rights to be limited by government with compensation. These rules retain the flexibility of individual ownership while reflecting a growing awareness that the general welfare depends on wise use of agricultural land.
