NEW FARM PLANNING
A farm plan is a tool developed jointly between planning staff and land owners or land managers. The plan includes an inventory of your natural resources and outlines actions and a schedule for you to make improvements based on your goals for the property.
The farm plan will take into account:
farm size and current use (forestry, pasture, etc.)
type and number of livestock and crops
soil types, slopes and other critical issues
proximity to streams or water bodies
available resources (machinery, buildings, etc.)
your goals and timeline
You will also receive an aerial photo showing soils, field layout, water sources, and other features.
