Department of homeland security - decided 18 areas that do this including farm lands. 115 billion dollars of this is exported, keeps trade above 35 billion. Farming is a large part of our economic stability. Farmland protection policy act (7 usc 4201 et seq) -the policy its self is not a regulation. The act itself does not authorize the federal government to regulate the use of private or non- federal land or in anyway effect the property rights of the owners. If the government starts to take away the land or control what the farmer does with the land it could become a taking. The policy right now is requesting smart thinking (stop and think). Easements - non possessory property interest in land (common law) Justin owns a piece of land next to ashley"s.
