In 2000, Henry F. Wallace placed the farm in a conservation easement** to protect this distinctive property. River Fields holds the easement, which preserves the land as one, indivisible tract, and it will pass to future owners. However, 33.7 acres are unencumbered and thus reside outside the easement and can be developed.
