Clinton County Government - Farmland Preservation
Protects viable agricultural lands by acquiring agricultural conservation easements which prevent the development or improvement of the land for any purpose other than agricultural production. The program encourages landowners to make a long-term commitment to agriculture by offering them financial incentives and security of land use.

If that is done, then the owner of the easement, the county and/or state, has t
