Wisconsin Sen. Gaylord Nelson, chairman of the committee, convened the hearing to determine why there is no adequate data on farm ownership. Simultaneously, a Senate agriculture subcommittee was holding hearings on the Farmland Preservation Act, which was co-sponsored by Nelson and would provide federal technical and financial assistance to promote state and local preservation efforts.

Citing statistics which indicate the loss of one million acres of cropland annually for the past 20 years, Nelson said, farmland is lost, it is gone we cannot dig up the pavement and replant the soil. Fortunately, some states and localities are starting an effort to preserve farmland, and I am proud say Wisconsin is a national leader in this area." Nelson also asked the committee to consider skyrocketing farmland prices which make difficult for new farmers to invest in land and the increasing foreis, farmland. foreign He investment estimated more than 40 percent of all farmlan! is owned by nonfarmers. passed last year will provide Congress with detailed information about foreign investors, yet we know very little about investors here in our own country, Nelson said. a farmer in Wisconsin, however, it matters little whether land prices are being forced up by an investor from Antwerp or New York," he added.

Dr. M. Rupert Cutler, assistant secretary for research, extension and conservation of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, told Nelson the department conducting a national land ownership study and also is tempting to survey land-holding characteristics and trends. intention is to address questions concerning the relationship of farmland ownership patterns and factors such land prices, withdrawal agricultural land, conservation investment and disinvestment, well as ownership conservation, Cutler said.

However, he acknowledged, USDA does not know how serious the problem of farmland conservation is, what role federal government should play in agricultural land retention, what authority the government would require to do so. Barrows described the Wisconsin preservation program, which provides state come tax credits to qualified farmland owners who sign contract before 1982 agreeing FINANCE SERVICE CORP.

After 1982, in order for owners to remain eligible for tax credits, the county must adopt some policy to preserve farmland.

"Since the relief is in the form of a state income tax credit, there is neither a reduction in the local property tax nor a direct shift in the incidence of property taxes on the local level," Barrows said. feature of the law designed to make it acceptable to local government is the provision for grants to counties to assist in mapping productive farmland to be preserved and developing agricultural preservations and zoning he said. Response of Wisconsin farmers to the program, according to Barrows, has been "rapid and had applied for initial farmland By July 1, about 2, 2,125 farmers preservation agreements in all but eight of the state's 71 counties, covering 561,350 acres. In addition, about 1.5 million acres in seven counties are under certified exclusive agricultural zoning ordinances. "County boards in about twothirds of the counties in the state have requested funds for mapping agricultural land and preparing plans for orThese counties, dinances," Barrows reportedied primarily in the southern portion of the state, contain 78 percent of Wisconsin's farmland.

"In the long Barrows concluded, law will sucif local governments and the electorate believe in the importance of preserving farmland." Barrows endorsed the Farmland Preservation Act. which would provide for a study of state and local policies, financial assistance to encourage demonstration projects, a study of the results of those projects, and technical assistance to help develop preservation policies.
