GAYLORD, MI (December 27, 2010) Private landowners—especially working family farmers and ranchers—who protect their land under voluntary conservation agreements, are applauding President Obama’s extension of the Bush-era tax cuts signed earlier this month. The incentive, which had expired at the end of 2009, will help HeadWaters Land Conservancy of Northeast Michigan continue to protect thousands of acres of undeveloped land.
