Abstract: Factors to be considered in zoning land for farming include location, topography, weather, drainage, and, above all, fertility. The fertile soil in a community is irreplaceable, and once converted to nonfarm use and covered with streets and houses, it is not likely to be reconverted to farm use. Discusses the three types of agricultural zoning most frequently adopted by various States and counties.
