I'm sending this article to our state's Secretary of Agriculture, who happens to live down the road from us. We're seeing a rapid loss of farmland in NC. There have been strange moves, like a developer who was able to "de-annex" acreage in the middle of a small town's city limits because he didn't like their zoning requirements. He'll now be able to build his development based on more generous County guidelines. State politicians, many Republicans, voted to allow him to do this first time, "de-annexation".
These brothers do have a GoFundMe account, which I've donated to, and will again. We don't need to just worry about farmland, but about any private property. The government is telling us that there is no such thing as privately owned property, and eminent domain can happen for any reason.
I have been reading a lot lately about really disgusting underhanded tricks to try to wreck people's land value by claiming that it is flood zone when it is not, or some other crap like calling it a superfund site or stuff is contaminated on it. All the while, their machinations are to drive down the value of property to nothing and then steal it.
The land theft game is on.
Look at this resource and I recommend you support them.
It looks like the farmland is rated as either "prime" or "of statewide importance" in that area. If federal money is involved, it should be subject to the Farmland Protection Policy Act. That status of the land could cause a problem for the project.
If the farmland is seized, and the "affordable" housing is built, I suppose the locals can eat the people in the "affordable" housing units instead of the food coming from the Henry farm.
It’s sad that it’s surprising to hear that a federal bureaucrat is siding with a family farm to preserve their property rights, because the federal government has for so long steadfastly fought against citizens in favor of wealthy special interests.
