Abstract

Excerpts from the report: For statewide and regional agricultural planning, five major land resource areas (MLRAs) are delineated in the Commonwealth of Kentucky (Map 1). They are: MLRA 120 Kentucky and Indiana Sandstone and Shale Hills and Valleys -- MLRA 121 Kentucky Bluegrass -- MLRA 122 Highland Rim and Pennyroyal -- MLRA 125 Cumberland Plateau and Mountains -- MLRA 134 Southern Mississippi Valley Silty Upland. MLRAs are physiographic and geographically associated land resource units characterized by particular patterns of soils, climate, water resources and land uses. To facilitate planning, program administration and implementation, and compilation of data, the MLRAS are adjusted to coincide with county boundaries. It is intended that this report provide cooperating agencies and sponsors with historic and recent data and information about Kentucky's general agricultural economy by major land resource area (MLRA). Attention is given to population composition, employment and income, farm structure and farming. The farming section includes major agricultural land use; crop acreage, production, and yield data; soils by class/subclass; livestock and poultry data; information on fertilizer use; costs and price data; and a review of the market value of agricultural products.
