| We establish a procedure to track the tax valuation history of properties that are fully or partially restricted with conservation easements to test the assertion that easements result in lower property valuations. Easements didn't decrease property valuations; they merely decreased the rate of value for the affected properties. On average, the restricted properties' valuations increased at a rate lower than did those for unrestricted properties - but not always, and certainly not uniformly. Valuation policy is specific to the local tax assessor: no sweeping assertions about easements and property taxes is warranted. |

| To examine the extent to which the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) brings about a reduction in surplus commodity production, I develop a simple model that incorporates the farm-level production effects of entry into the Reserve. The model is used to estimate the reduction in aggregate program crop acreage under two CRP program alternatives: (1) the "base bite," which requires a proportional reduction in a farm's commodity base as a condition of CRP entry (the current law) and (2) no base bite, which for supply control purposes would rely upon a "displacement" of acreage actually available for planting. Data from the first four rounds of CRP bidding permit comparison of the supply control impacts of the alternative provisions. The base bite is shown... |

| Two farmland protection programs in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) Metropolitan Area--Green Acres and Agricultural Preserves-- together enrolled 608,331 acres in 1992. The principal financing tool was a provision common to both programs under which participating landowners paid reduced property taxes in exchange for certain non- development assurances. The resulting shift in property tax obligations to other taxpayers amounted to $7.6 million for the 1993 tax year, an average shift of $12.50 per enrolled acre. Annual per- acre tax reductions across localities ranged from zero to $933. |

| This report is a summary of the data contained on the farmland sales portion of the Minnesota Land Economics (MLE) web site (http://www.apec.umn.edu/landeconomics) as of April 29, 2004. It is formally reissued each Spring, as new sales data become available. We no longer distribute a separate farm real estate report in the Minnesota Agricultural Economist (now the Minnesota Applied Economist: http://www.apec.umn.edu/MnApEc). The present document consists largely of graphs and tables summarizing sales over the past fourteen years. It provides averages at the multi-county region and at the statewide levels of aggregation. Individual transaction data are available for downloading and analysis at the MLE web site. An electronic version of the current report... |

| We were asked by the Legislature to conduct "research into the effects feedlots have on the value of nearby property." To do so, we carried out a statistical examination of the interrelationships among residential property sales prices and nearby feedlots in a southwestern Minnesota study area. Structure and location data for 292 residential property sales in Redwood and Renville Counties, excluding the cities of Olivia and Redwood Falls, were linked to the location and physical characteristics of every larger feedlot within three miles of each sale. The basic approach was to ask, "Does the addition of information about feedlot proximity help us explain observed house prices beyond the explanatory power of statistical models that use only the house's... |

| Both federal income tax law and local property tax assessment practice are premised on the theory that permanent conservation restrictions reduce property values, while shorter term restrictions do not. An analysis of 190 recent sales of Minnesota agricultural land with varying cropping rights restrictions supports only a portion of this theory. Both permanent and short-term restrictions were negatively and significantly associated with per-acre sales prices. The former effect is consistent with the theory and is statistically meaningful, but the dataset contained too few sales with permanent restrictions to warrant a strong conclusion. The latter effect is inconsistent with the theory, but is strongly supported by the data. |

| In our report to the Legislature (Taff et al. 1996), we examined the interrelationships among residential property sales and nearby feedlots in two southwestern Minnesota counties. We found substantial support for such a link in the study area. That relationship was positive, not negative as we had expected. The effect was most pronounced for houses that are older, relatively lower in price, or located in small towns. In this paper, I summarize the approach and discuss the findings of that research. I then sketch out what I hope will prove a fruitful set of further inquiries into the question of multiple disamenities and hedonic price estimation. |

| The USDA has used bidding to enroll land into the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and may use similar mechanisms to implement other policy instruments in which some or all agricultural land cropping rights are acquired to protect or increase environmental amenities. Experience with the CRP suggests that current enrollees are being compensated in excess of the lowest payment they would be willing to accept in exchange for loss of cropping rights. While it may be prohibitively expensive to estimate such reservation prices on all potential CRP parcels, it is likewise difficult to design a bidding mechanism that induces landowners to reveal these values. While the competitive bidding and contingent valuation literatures provide some guidance, the problem... |
