- Abstract:
-
Important Farmland Soils - Undeveloped within the Highlands Region.
- Purpose:
-
The purpose of this dataset is to provide an accurate resource area based on important farmland soils. The area is used for planning purposes and for the implementation of the Highlands Regional Master Plan.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
The type of soil is an important factor in determining the productivity of farmland. The Important Farmland Soils (1%+) feature based data layer include soils of local, statewide importance, unique and prime soils, as defined by Natural Resources Conservation Service’s (NRCS) Soil Survey Geographic (SSURGO) Database for farmland soils. Developed lands were removed from this file.
