Preserving Idaho's Farmlands with David Anderson

David Anderson works for American Farmland Trust and actively helps landowners voluntarily enter into agreements that prohibit development of their land in perpetuity. Development rights are naturally a valuable thing, so why a landowner would voluntarily relinquish his or her rights to develop or sell developable land has been a mystery to me. David did an amazing job of explaining not just why people would want to do this, but the huge problem we’ll be in if our Ag land continues to disappear from a municipal taxation standpoint. Enjoy!

The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in the Treasure Valley and great state of Idaho. The Boise area is home to many counties and ways of life. It’s also home to many law enforcement agencies, like Ada County and Canyon county Sheriff offices, Idaho State Police, Eagle Police Department, Meridian Police Department, and many more. The school systems in the area are also quite diverse. Boise school district and West Ada School District, though right next to each other, are quite different. Ada County is also home to our state capital and many of our elected officials. 

The Ranch Podcast is shot just north of Eagle, Idaho.
