He stated that he takes a great deal of pride in his participation in terms of getting the farm groups together and the farm groups making a statement in terms of their support for this particular program. He extended his appreciation to the various groups that participated in getting this program initiated. 498 MINUTE BOOK BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WASHINGTON COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA FRANK R MASCARA METRO PETROSKY JR JOSEPH A FORD COMMISSIONERS Commissioner Ford questioned Louise Midla as to (1) the timing of this request from the farm community for the Board of Commissioners to act on this matter; and (2) the matter of grandchildren's desire to sell farmland in the future. Louise Midla stated that she has been in contact with the Commissioners on several occasions since the inception of the program. However, during those early meetings there was not enough interest expressed to initiate the program. She noted that there had been a promise from the Commissioner: at that time that when the time came, if there was enough interest from the farm community, that the Commissioners would move forward. She responded to Commissioner Ford's second issue relative to whether or not grandchildren can sell a farm. She noted that anybody can sell the farm at any time. The only stipulation is that it will remain in farming. There are two avenues available - farmers can propose their farms for a twenty-five year period, or for perpetuity. She stated that there is quite a difference in the amount of compensation, and for that reason most people will choose perpetuity, and their sole reason for doing it is to preserve their farm and to preserve it for their grandchildren.
