Summary: Daniels Describes Basics of Preserving AG Land
Review: Tom Daniels provides this concise yet detailed description of several land use based agriculture preservation tools including, TDR's, PDR's, conservation easements, ag zoning, urban growth boundaries, and local right-to-farm laws. There are model documents provided in the appendices which give a detailed view of specific preservation measures.

As a county planner, I found this book provided me with a basis of knowledge to promote responsible land use decisions in my county. This book should be national standard reading for land use professionals.
