“As a Wisconsin REALTOR specializing in rural properties, landowners often ask me about how government programs will affect their property sale. The question is usually something like, “I’m thinking of enrolling my property in a program; will that affect the market value when I sell?” Most often, the programs they’re referring to are the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and the Managed Forest Law (MFL) program. There are other programs that rural properties are enrolled in but those usually have a similar effect on land value.
Let me first say that I’m not against these programs in general as they can provide benefits when implemented with some forethought. The problems that I see are usually the result of landowners simply not understanding the full implications of enrollment.”
