Farmland Should Be For Farming

17 members of the Farmland Acquisition, Research and Management Limited Liability Co., (Farm LLC), in Washington state are raising funds to buy farmland and demonstrate that the “highest and best use of farmland is farming.” The group, which consists of wealthy Microsoft employees, writers, doctors, and other professionals has raised $1 million to purchase 80 acres. Their goal is to preserve farmland, produce organic products and lease/sell small parcels to new or small farmers.
