The land is in a family held corporation. We have no such deals or understandings with the feds.
The fact that the Heinz famiy is associated with this gives me the heebie jeebies.
Any of your kin gotten anything like this before?
Found this on the site you linked to a different post:
“The NRI is carried out under the authority of a number of legislative acts including the Rural Development Act of 1972, the Soil and Water Resources Conservation Act of 1977, the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996, and the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002”
It also seems like an initial survey was completed several years ago and they are doing “re-visits” so you may have had them there before.
You may need to do some more research here before building redoubts and reinforcing them with artillery.
You or your family is likely getting an AG (agricultural) exemption from the local county. That seems to let the feds think they have some rights. That’s how that parcel is on the list.
The price you pay for lower taxes I guess. I ignore them and they let it go.
