Environmentalorganizations want to preserve the land surrounding the Wilgrinn WildernessArea from residential development. They plan to do this by purchasing that landfrom the farmers who own it. That plan is ill-conceived: if the farmersdid sell their land, they would sell it to the highest bidder, and developerswould outbid any other bidders. On the other hand, these farmers will neveractually sell any of the land, provided that farming it remains viable. Butfarming will not remain viable if the farms are left unmodernized, and most ofthe farmers lack the financial resources modernization requires. And that isexactly why a more sensible preservation strategy would be to the farmers tomodernize their farms to the extent needed to maintain viability.
