Soil Conservation District reports growth in farmers, federal contracts and ag‑preservation work The Soil Conservation District reported 102 new cooperative agreements over two years, nearly 60,000 acres of county farmland (about 40,000 privately owned), and a jump in federal conservation contracts — 78 contracts in 2025 obligating about $1.78 million to local producers. Staff also discussed agritourism zoning challenges and a feasibility study for an Ag & Food Security Innovation Center.

Prince George’s County is witnessing a remarkable surge in agricultural growth, with federal conservation contracts skyrocketing and new cooperative agreements flourishing!

Agency: Section 248 requires reclamation plans for solar sites; permanent impacts handled via mitigation Agency staff told the committee Section 248 proceedings treat underlying agricultural soils as retaining their classification after decommissioning and recommended permit conditions (pre/post bulk density testing, reclamation plans); permanent features such as substations may require off‑site mitigation to VHCB. Committee members asked about decommissioning bonds and technical specifics.

Vermont's agency emphasizes the need for reclamation plans in solar projects, raising questions about the long-term impact on agricultural land and the complexities of mitigation strategies.

Agency of Agriculture outlines Act 250 rules for primary agricultural soils and mitigation fees Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets staff told the House committee how Act 250 criterion 9(b) defines primary agricultural soils, how NRCS agricultural value groups determine mitigation multipliers (2.0–3.0), and how on‑site set‑asides and offset mitigation fees to VHCB are applied. Members pressed the agency on housing tradeoffs and asked for statewide acreage figures.

Vermont’s agricultural future hangs in the balance as officials discuss how to protect precious prime soils while meeting housing demands.

UVM agronomist outlines how USDA, NRCS define "prime" farmland and how Vermont maps local importance Heather Darby of University of Vermont Extension told legislators that USDA/NRCS definitions identify soils best suited to food, feed and fiber production; she explained federal thresholds (depth, slope, flooding), how states designate soils of statewide or local importance and where to find parcel-level maps.

Discover how Vermont is redefining agricultural soil classifications to safeguard our food security in the face of development pressures!

Draft renewable-energy rules prompt comments on soil disturbance, small-system exemptions and Bears Ears protections Bluff presented a draft ordinance to regulate small- and large-scale renewable-energy installations, with SolSmart assisting outreach. Public commenters urged limits on soil disturbance for agricultural lands, de minimis exemptions for sub-1,200 W systems, and explicit protection of Bears Ears National Monument lands from industrial-scale siting.

A new draft ordinance is on the table, aiming to balance renewable energy growth with the protection of Utah's agricultural land and the Bears Ears National Monument.
