haha! the preservationists have funding for farms!
this is happening in Massachusetts.
The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is pleased to announce the publication of Terra Firma #8 – Rooted in History: Preserving Historic Farms.
Working with Commissioner Scott Soares of the MA Department of Agricultural Resources, DCR developed the bulletin to broaden public understanding of farms as historic landscapes and to build a bridge between agricultural protection programs and historic preservation tools.
