Okay, gonna lay out what I am trying to do, and see if any of you have any ideas to help. I realize state laws may differ, but ideas will still help.
I have been farming an old homestead that has not been farmed in a while, the older lady (87 years old) still lives there. All of her kids want to sell the place off when she goes, or just don`t care. Her and her husband homesteaded the place in 1952, around the same time my grandpa homesteaded, hence the family connection. This ladys entire life has been making the farm what it is, and she cries at the idea of it being broken up. We have been trying to get the land into a farmland trust, that ensures that it will not be developed. The saddest part is it is in a rural, agricultural area with little demand for housing lots, so there would be no money in subdividing, but her kids still think it is a goldmine. She has agreed to sell me the place, on the condition that I place it in the farmland trust to protect it in the future. I have no problem with the idea, but the trust we are dealing with is being very difficult. Here lies the question. Are there any other legal options to protect the ground from future development, that do not require dealing with an established organization? I have no intention of developing it as anything other than a farm, but she wants it protected down the line as well.

Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
