How Conservation Easements Can Help with Succession and Protect Landscapes

There are many challenges with passing the ranch on to the next generation. It is difficult financially because many times people need to live on the equity they have built. It is also difficult financially because of the pressure that development puts on ranches to make room for urban expansion. The South Dakota Ag Land Trust has a solution that can help with both of these aspects. Bill Eastman and Karl Jensen join me today to discuss the logistics and considerations of putting your land into a conservation easement.
