Abstract

Excerpts from the report Preface: The United States is not running out of farmland. We will be able to meet anticipated domestic food needs plus moderately high export demands. The most compelling reasons for worrying about the conversion of farmland to other uses come not from the national food production perspective but from the State and local perspective on agriculture's importance to them. Local land use issues abound. These issues are wrapped in conflicting and interwoven desires, ideas, and rights. They touch such sensitive areas as income and local employment, taxation, air and water quality, and just plain personal wishes to be left alone. The Federal Government encourages land use planning and recognizes an important support role by USDA involving research and information on land use. But, planning and implementation are up to States and local jurisdictions. This paper reviews land use policy issues from a State and local perspective.
