Prime Farmland in Georgia
(The links below are outside of the Georgia NRCS web site.)
Georgia recognizes 2 categories of Important Farmlands: (1) Prime Farmland
and (2) Additional Farmland of Statewide Importance. Lists of soils that meet the criteria for
Important Farmland are maintained by soil survey areas, which may include 1 to 3 counties.
These lists are available on the Soil
Data Mart, in the report titled "Prime and other important
farmlands".
Information about prime and other important farmland are published in the
Code of Federal Regulations 7CFR657. The website is: http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_00/7cfr657_00.html
