Paul; Lynch, LoriItem Do Agricultural Land Preservation Programs Reduce Overall Farmland Loss?(CANRP, 2012-07-20) Lynch, Lori; Liu, XiangpingWhen purchase of development rights (PDR) programs are in place to prevent farmland from being developed into commercial or residential property, you would expect that less farmland would be converted. But are these programs actually working? Dr. Lori Lynch at the University of Maryland finds out.Item Does Low-density Zoning Impact Rural Land Value?(CANRP, 2012-09-28) Lynch, Lori; Xiangping, LiuDo zoning regulations rob rural landowners’ equity – i.e. decreasing their land values without compensation? Do these land use controls affect different types of land in the same way or in different ways? How far-reaching is the effect? Dr. Lori Lynch at the University of Maryland takes a look at several down-zoning counties on the Eastern Shore of Maryland to find out.Item Does Low-density Zoning Impact Rural Land Value?(CANRP, 2012-09-28) Lynch, Lori; Liu, XiangpingDo zoning regulations rob rural landowners’ equity – i.e. decreasing their land values without compensation?

Assigning a value to the development rights to determine the cost of acquiring an easement on farm properties is difficult and can be costly. Data was collected on 409 preservation transactions from three Maryland counties and supplemented with farm-level spatial data via GIS. A hedonic price analysis is conducted to determine the marginal return to different farm characteristics using a spatial econometric model to correct for spatial correlation. Parcel characteristics such as distance to city and town, number of acres, prime soils and current land-use explain 80 percent of the variation in easement values. As expected, characteristics perform least well in explaining easement values in transfer of development right programs. This information can help formulate policy decisions and selection criteria to maximize the preservation of the agricultural economy and/or maximize public preferences. A supply curve is constructed using simulations that determine nonparticipant parcels’ easement values. To preserve the remaining eligible acres in the three counties, $167 million would be needed. This method can support programs choosing to use a point system rather than the more costly and difficult-to-apply standard appraisal methods.Item The Impact of Agriculture on Maryland’s Economy(2013-04) Ferris, Jeffrey; Lynch, LoriItem The Impact of Agriculture on Maryland’s Economy: Summary(2013-04) Ferris, Jeffrey; Lynch, LoriItem Improving Neighbor Relations: Farmers Advise Farmers(2007) Fuchs, Kurt; Dill, Shannon; Lynch, Lori; Jones, JessicaItem Improving Neighbor Relations: Welcome to the Neighborhood: Living in a Rural Community(2007) Fuchs, Kurt; Dill, Shannon; Lynch, Lori; Jones, JessicaItem State Review of Environmental Impacts Could Result in Mineral Leasing Opportunities in Maryland(2014-05) Goeringer, Paul; Lynch, LoriStarting in 2007, many western Maryland landowners saw increased oil and gas leasing as gas companies further developed the Marcellus Shale which contains one of the largest known natural gas reserves in the world. The Marcellus Shale is adjacent to a large energy market in the East Coast. The formation is located primarily in eight states, including Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia, and western Maryland. Many landowners may think that the period for understanding how to negotiate an oil and gas lease has passed, but Maryland’s oil and natural gas resources have not been fully developed. This Bulletin will explore some of the legal obligations that mineral owners should consider.Item Taxes and Land Preservation: Computing the Capital Gains Tax(2014-12) Lynch, Lori; Goeringer, PaulSelling development rights or easements has tax implications for landowners, especially those who have owned their farms for a long period of time and seen land values escalate.
