Local community government planning and support can protect this important resource against unwise development and increasing economic pressures on farmers. 

The Farmland Protection Board can:

• Include plans for agriculture in our overall land use plans;
• Support and fund land conservation programs such as purchase of development rights (PDR), and;
• Implement economic measures that promote local farming such as direct marketing through farmers markets.

Send a letter to a local Town Board asking them to protect our local farmland.
