I just received a newsletter from Twin Falls Farm Service Agency (FSA). It included an article about some issues to be aware when selling farmland that is in a Conservation Program. The article said, “If you are planning to sell farmland, there may be some program consequences you should be aware of.

There are several to choose from, but I advise that you interview at least two before choosing who to hire to do your home inspection.
