How Much Urban Impact on the South's Farm and Forest Lands?

Robert G. Healy

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1985, vol. 02, issue 01

Abstract: Though the South's population is growing twice as fast as the national average, its productive land seems in little danger of being overrun by housing and other built up uses by the year 2000. But that's not to say there are no problems. The most pressing are the possibility that urban uses are taking the better lands out of production and the potential conflicts between adjacent farm and nonfarm land users.
