2 <br /> 2 . Be certified by the Soil Conservation Service <br /> of the United States Department of Agriculture <br /> as being a farm on which at least two-thirds of <br /> the land is composed of soils that: <br /> a. Are best suited for providing food, seed, <br /> fiber, forage, timber, and oil seed crops; <br /> b. Have good soil qualities; <br /> c. Are favorable for all major crops common <br /> to Orange County; <br /> d. Have a favorable growing season; and <br /> e. Receive the available moisture needed to <br /> produce high yields for an average of <br /> eight (8) out of ten (10) years; <br /> OR be one on which at least two-thirds of the <br /> land has been actively used in agricultural, <br /> horticultural or forestry operations as defined <br /> in the N.C. General Statutes, Section 105-277. 2 <br /> (1,2 , and 3) , during each of the five (5) <br /> previous years, measured from the date on which <br /> the determination must be made as to whether <br /> the land in question qualifies. <br /> 3 . Be managed, if highly erodible land exists on <br /> the farm, in accordance with the Soil <br /> Conservation Service defined erosion-control <br /> practices as specified in the 1985 Food <br /> Security Act. <br /> The Orange Soil & Water Conservation District Office <br /> and the Tax Supervisor have provided memoranda <br /> which indicate that the Morris property <br /> complies with the above requirements. In addition, <br /> the property is comprised of one tract, totaling <br /> 80 acres (79 . 75 acres rounded off) . Thus, the <br /> acreage requirement of Section V.B. 1.a. is <br /> satisfied, since the farm consists of one tract <br /> containing at least 80 acres. <br /> At its February 17, 1993 meeting, the Agricultural <br /> Districts Advisory Board voted unanimously to <br /> certify the Morris property as qualifying farmland <br /> and recommend it for designation as a voluntary <br /> agricultural district. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that the property <br /> of John Frank and Dorothy S. Morris be designated <br /> as a voluntary agricultural district. <br />
