Monterey County Important Farmland

Monterey County Important Farmland vector digital data withheld Important_Farmlands Established in 1982, Government Code Section 65570 mandates FMMP to biennially report on the conversion of farmland and grazing land, and to provide maps and data to local government and the public. The Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) provides data to decision makers for use in planning for the present and future use of California's agricultural land resources. The data is a current inventory of agricultural resources. This data is for general planning purposes and has a minimum mapping unit of ten acres. en Even numbered years, starting in 1984. ground condition In work Biennial -121.986516 -120.212968 36.931796 35.772850 5687177.704000 6201605.603000 1808593.365000 2229048.876000 None Farmland California Farmland Farmland Monitoring Urbanization Land Use Agriculture Conservation Prime Farmland FMMP Important Farmland Monterey Central Coast Monterey None This data does not reflect general plan or zoning designations, city limit lines, changing economic or market conditions, or other factors which may be taken into consideration when land use policies are determined.

ESRI ArcCatalog 8.3.0.800 Feature Class The extent of the farmland coverage corresponds to the availability of what the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) considers "modern soil surveys". Thus, coverage is so far limitied to 48 of California's 58 counties. Some of these 48 counties have only been partially mapped as the NRCS has limited its efforts to areas which are agriculturally important. The soil surveys rarely extend into National Forests. Beginning in 2000, SSURGO digital soil information was incorporated into the Monterey County Important Farmland data. Prior to the availability of SSURGO, soil information was hand-transferred from the paper soil surveys. The land use minimum mapping unit of ten acres has not changed, but digital soil units of down to one acre occur in the SSURGO-enhanced Important Farmland data. Older versions of the data have not been modified. For more information on SSURGO, contact the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service: http://soildatamart.nrcs.usda.gov/ CA053 (Monterey County).

POLYGON_TY Identifies the mapping categories used by the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program. Definitions were developed by the USDA-NRCS as part of their nationwide Land Inventory and Monitoring (LIM) system. Prime Farmland (P) Irrigated land with the best combination of physical and chemical features able to sustain long term production of agricultural crops. This land has the soil quality, growing season, and moisture supply needed to produce sustained high yields. Land must have been used for production of irrigated crops at some time during the four years prior to the mapping date. Farmland of Statewide Importance (S) Irrigated land similar to Prime Farmland that has a good combination of physical and chemical characteristics for the production of agricultural crops. This land has minor shortcomings, such as greater slopes or less ability to store soil moisture than Prime Farmland. Land must have been used for production of irrigated crops at some time during the four years prior to the mapping date. Unique Farmland (U) Lesser quality soils used for the production of the state's leading agricultural crops. This land is usually irrigated, but may include non-irrigated orchards or vineyards as found in some climatic zones in California. Land must have been cropped at some time during the four years prior to the mapping date. Farmland of Local Importance (L) The Board of Supervisors determined that there will be no Farmland of Local Importance for Monterey County. Grazing Land (G) Land on which the existing vegetation is suited to the grazing of livestock. This category is used only in California and was developed in cooperation with the California Cattlemen's Association, University of California Cooperative Extension, and other groups interested in the extent of grazing activities. The minimum mapping unit for Grazing Land is 40 acres. Urban and Built-Up Land (D) Urban and Built-Up land is occupied by structures with a building density of at least 1 unit to 1.5 acres, or approximately 6 structures to a 10-acre parcel. Common examples include residential, industrial, commercial, institutional facilities, cemeteries, airports, golf courses, sanitary landfills, sewage treatment, and water control structures. Other Land (X) Land which does not meet the criteria of any other category. Typical uses include low density rural development, heavily forested land, mined land, or government land with restrictions on use. Water (W) Water areas with an extent of at least 40 acres.
