Abstract

"News" piece on a Department of Agriculture income/cost analysis of orchard land in Maine to establish the farmland value of 120-year-old Lakeside Orchards in Manchester. The analysis revealed an estate value in addition to the farm income value, meaning that buying the development rights wouldn't ensure that future owners would be farmers, because "estate buyers" looking for scenic beauty and privacy have found southern Maine and are driving up the prices for large farm tracts.
