Abstract

Excerpts from the report Preface: One of the first steps in the research effort which culminated in THE PROTECTION OF FARMLAND: A REFERENCE GUIDEBOOK FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS was a survey of existing programs. This volume contains results of that survey. All the programs identified are listed in The Summary of the Inventory (Section II). The decision of whether or not to include a particular program in the inventory was based on whether the program was explicitly designed to protect agricultural land and on the apparent strength of its provisions. An inventory sheet for most, but not all, of these programs is presented in Section III of this report. The intent of each inventory sheet is to identify the program, describe its elements, summarize experience with it, identify related programs affecting the jurisdiction, and provide the names and telephone numbers of officials who can give additional information. The inventory sheets also identify population, economic, and agricultural characteristics of each jurisdiction.
