	Choices Article - What are Farmland Amenities Worth?
		Farmland amenities are attributes of farmland that are uniquely provided by actively farmed land.
		For example, the scenic benefits of farmland depend on both the amount of farmland and on its pattern— whether it provides more uninterrupted views of rolling pastures, cropland, and farmsteads or is fragmented by urban uses.
		Visual farmland amenities might be enhanced by preserving smaller tracts of more widely distributed farmland or by concentrating preserved farmland in more densely populated areas.

	The Sprawling of America: In Defense of the Dynamic City (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Ironically, farmland loss was moderating while newspaper headlines in Michigan were highlighting the effects of urban sprawl and a governor’s task force recommended legislative action to protect farmland from land development.
		Farmland loss rates were projected for eleven states based on the decline in the number of acres in farms during each decade (Table 5).
		As farmland was converted to urbanized forms of development, county commissioners responded to grassroots citizen concerns about preserving open space by placing on a countywide ballot an initiative to purchase the development rights of farmland by increasing the local sales tax.

	Restoration of Abandoned Farmlands
		Abandoned farmland in Arizona is located mainly in the south-central part of the state, along the Gila River between Phoenix and Yuma and also in the lower Santa Cruz valley, an area north of Picacho Peak up to where the Santa Cruz enters the Gila River.
		The finalªand possibly the most compellingªargument for protecting abandoned farmland recognizes that any land, whatever its degree of aesthetic appeal or its ecological role, that is disturbed and left vulnerable to the destructive forces of erosion, represents human failure and a misuse of natural resources.
		Farmland abandoned without due regard for the care and preservation of the land could leave Arizona cities fringed by acres of wasteland.

	LUHNA Chapter 2: Historical Interrelationships Between Population Settlement and Farmland in the Conterminous United ...
		As new farmlands (cropland and grasslands) were being created at the population frontier early in the period between 1760 and 1992, certain other areas were being bypassed to be farmed only later when drainage and/or irrigation was possible.
		In 1920, farmland was defined by the U.S. Census as "land in farms as harvested crop-lands, idle croplands, pastureland, woodland not in pastureland, other farmland, and unimproved farmland." In 1930, "unimproved farmland" was redefined as "other farmlands." For data before 1920, only "improved" farmland was used as the definition of farmland.
		Farmland development in the southern part of the state, with its extensive wetlands, awaited access via new roads and the drainage practices and irrigation technologies that arrived in the early 1930's (Fig.

		The Northeast Field Office of American Farmland Trust is working with the Vermont Land Trust, the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board, and the Vermont Department of Agriculture to study the Vermont farmland conservation program, whereby participating farmers sell their land development rights to a government body.
		Farmland conservation program participants are very satisfied with the program overall, and the program has a generally positive image among agricultural service providers.
		The farmland conservation program is successful, and it should continue to promote its image by advertising “success stories.” Different perspectives of the program and its impact would enhance its image, dispel myths, and provide information about the usefulness of the program to various constituencies.

	Farmland Assessment -- Department of Planning & Economic Development: Cumberland County, NJ
		The Farmland Assessment Act changed State policy to allow tax incentives that encourage farmers to be a source of local food and jobs, and to preserve taxpaying open space.
		Qualified farmland -- the productive farmland that ranges from five acres to hundreds of acres where crops are grown or animals roam -- is taxed at farmland value instead of development value.
		Farmland, as well as commercial and industrial properties, generate more tax revenue than they demand cost-wise in services, helping to balance the budgetary shortfall.

		The rate and location of farmland loss are critical factors to be considered when assessing the need for local farmland preservation policies and programs.

	Netherlands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most recent parts of Zeeland were flooded during the North Sea Flood of 1953 and 1,836 people were killed, after which the Delta Plan was executed.
		The disasters were partially man-made; the people drained relatively high lying swampland for use as farmland.
		This drainage caused the fertile peat to compress and the ground level to drop, locking the landusers in a vicious circle whereby they would lower the water level to compensate for the drop in ground level, causing the underlying peat to compress even more.
