Some towns are getting a second chance to preserve a natural resource as people recognize the value in farmland. Yes, it's largely due to real estate tanking so bad that land without houses becomes a better buy... but lets look at the silver lining. Keeping houses from sprouting on good farmland allows this renewable resource to be used by future generations for veggies, or corn, or chickens, or any multitude of farming operations. That McMansion which some might think is a great idea now, will be shabby in a few years, and nobody will give a darn about your nifty faux-tile roof. Oh, let's remodel to keep pace with the latest in house fashion. Barf!
Good soil keeps it's value for generations.
