June 9, 2009: Celebrate the Closings of Two Agricultural Easements in the Valley


On June 9, 2009 the Central Valley Farmland Trust will be celebrating the placement of agricultural easements on Jorgensen Ranch and Silveira Farm. These easements ensure that the land will support agriculture and the communities where they are located for future generations.

The celebration will take place at:
Jorgensen Ranch
Tuesday, June 9, 2009,
10:00 a.m.
30416 W. Jorgensen Road,
Gustine, California

What does GVC have to say about agricultural easements:

“We are seeing more and more farmers in the Central Valley choosing to make agricultural easements a part of their business, financial and estate plans,” said Theresa Kiehn, Agricultural Programs Associate with the Great Valley Center. “They’re a proven way to guarantee that farmland remains in private hands, agricultural business continues and the land’s natural resources are forever protected.”
