Chance to add land to county ag districts

Posted

The deadline for applications for land to be included in the county’s Agricultural District 1 or 2 is Monday, May 30.

Being in a district provides protection for farm operations from nuisance lawsuits and overly restrictive local land use regulations, such as fertilizer smell restrictions. The land use is governed by state Agriculture and Markets Law. The land need not necessarily be farmland.

For forms and more info, contact Matilda Larson at the St. Lawrence County Planning Office, 379-2292 or planning@stlawco.org.

Applications will be reviewed by the county’s Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board before their recommendations go to the county Board of Legislators for approval.
