In nearby Clarke County, planners have adopted a method for identifying and rating farmland according to a system developed by the U.S. Conservation Service.
The system, called LESA (Land Evaluation and Site Assessment) helps local governments determine which lands should be set aside for agriculture - and how to rate a specific site to justify retention of an agricultural use. LESA can also be used to decide the minimum parcel size for subdivision in farm areas; plan water, sewer and transportation projects; and develop guidelines for conversion of farmland into non agricultural uses.
