Key legal question
Whether a parcel remains agricultural under the LDFR when no personal farmer responded to a public offering under Art. 64(1)(f) LDFR.
Extracted holding
No. The public-offer procedure under Art. 64(1)(f) LDFR concerns authorization to sell to a non-farmer, not the separate question whether the parcel is still agricultural and excluded from the LDFR.
Extracted reasoning
The lower court conflated two distinct procedures. The parcel was still being horticulturally used and was suitable for agricultural or horticultural use under Art. 6 LDFR; absence of a qualified bidder may support an acquisition authorization, but it does not establish non-applicability of the LDFR.
