Rural Zoning and Your County

Abstract: Excerpt from the report: All through the country farmers are discussing how to manage their acres to better advantage, how to conserve their resources of soil, water, grass, and timber, and how to adjust their use of the land to the limitations and opportunities that Nature provides. While the people of rural communities follow with interest the Federal programs for better land use, they are also working out local programs of their own. For example, they are giving increased attention to a new technique for preventing the waste of land — rural zoning. They have watched it spread from its first proving ground in Wisconsin, and naturally want to know more about this method of guiding land use into constructive channels. What does it aim to accomplish? How practical has it turned out to be? This publication is designed to present the A B C of rural zoning in nontechnical terms as an aid to the further discussion and understanding of this important land use measure.
