We study the effect of farmland preservation programs on agricultural investment where there exists uncertainty on agricultural income. From the conventional argument of real option theory, uncertainty provides adverse effect in investment. The presented compound real option model where investment option is determined coupled with divestment option shows that farmland preservation programs can resolve such adverse investment effect of uncertainty by decreasing divestment option. An empirical examination using a probit model validates our theoretical results.
