Agriculture and Prime Farmland Sample Clauses

Agriculture and Prime Farmland. ‌ According to CropScape, a program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service, in 2015 the majority of the planning area (93 percent) consisted of cropland [6]. Primary crops included soybeans (44 percent), corn (32 percent), spring wheat (9 percent), sugar beets (3 percent), sunflowers (2 percent), and grass/pasture (2 percent), with lesser quantities (i.e., 1 percent or less) of barley, alfalfa, winter wheat, dry beans, flaxseed, oats, peas, potatoes, rye, and fallow/idle cropland. Overland flooding within the planning area has posed difficult farming conditions, including delayed planting, lower land values, and loss of agriculturally generated income. Historically, flooding has resulted in annual agricultural damages ranging from $20,612 to nearly $2.1 million between 1989 and 1998 (Appendix D). The Farmland Protection Policy Act (FPPA), USDA regulations implementing the FPPA (7 CFR Part 658), and USDA Departmental Regulation (DR) No. 9500-3, Land Use Policy, provide protection for prime and important farmland and prime rangeland and forestland. Section 658.5 of the FPPA provides criteria for federal agencies to consider when identifying the potential adverse effects of federal programs on farmland. As appropriate, federal agencies are to consider actions that could lessen adverse effects on farmland. They should also assure that federal programs, to the extent practicable, are compatible with state, local government unit, and private programs and policies that protect farmland. The planning area is predominantly classified as prime farmland (59 percent of the planning area) and prime farmland if drained (28 percent of the planning area); approximately 4 percent of the planning area is classified as farmland of statewide importance, as shown in Map C-3 Appendix C.

Agriculture and Prime Farmland. ‌ Potential impacts to cultivated cropland, prime farmland, and prime farmland if drained could be minimized by limiting temporary construction impacts to the extent possible and ensuring that restoration occurs promptly after construction. Because Levee Alternative 1 is located within the city limits, the Farmland Protection Policy Act, which documents conversion of farmland to non- agricultural use when federal funding is used, does not apply (see letter in Appendix A). Once the levee system is operational, it would have beneficial and adverse indirect impacts on agriculture, prime farmland, and prime farmland if drained. Approximately 31 acres of cultivated cropland, 64 acres of prime farmland, and 11 acres of prime farmland if drained within the city of Amenia and its vicinity would be protected from future 100-year flood events. However, land outside of the levee system would not be protected from future flooding and would continue to be vulnerable to future large flooding events. Approximately 57 acres of cultivated cropland, 41 acres of prime farmland, and 19 acres of prime farmland if drained outside of the levee system would be at a greater risk of flooding during a 100-year flood event. Under Levee Alternative 1, there would be a net increase of 23 acres of prime farmland protected from future 100-year flood events and a net decrease of 8 acres of prime farmland if drained and 27 acres of cultivated crop land protected from future 100-year flood events. Potential impacts to cultivated cropland, prime farmland, and prime farmland if drained could be minimized by limiting temporary construction impacts to the extent possible and ensuring that restoration occurs promptly after construction. Because Levee Alternative 2 is located within the city limits, the Farmland Protection Policy Act, which documents conversion of farmland to non- agricultural use when federal funding is used, does not apply (see letter in Appendix A). Once the levee system is operational, it would have beneficial and adverse indirect impacts on agriculture. Approximately 108 acres of cultivated cropland, including 121 acres of prime farmland and 40 acres of prime farmland if drained within the city of Amenia and its vicinity would be protected from future 100-year flood events. However, land outside of the levee system would not be protected from future flooding and would continue to be vulnerable to future large flooding events. Approximately 136 acres of cultivated cropland ou...
