Land subject to easement is reported at cost less appraisal value of easement on the balance sheet.

Schedule D, Page 1, Part III, Line 1A

Sse's collection data base is publicly accessible by reseachers, genetic preservation projects, alternative seed companies, and others who are interested in saving heirloom garden seeds from extinction. Sse employs curators to insure the collections are protected, multiplied for seed, and preserved. In the normal course, collection items are not to be sold but rather maintained in perpetuity. However, should sse's board deem it appropriate to dispose of an item, any proceeds from the disposal are to be used to purchase new items for the collection or for maintenance of existing items.
