Several farmers inquired about the program early on, and by 1993, six farms were <br />enrolled. Recently the Agricultural Preservation Board has been considering a few revisions to <br />the ordinance, most notably reducing the minimum number of acres for participating farms <br />from 80 acres to 20 acres, and dividing the county into regions, instead of having each <br />participating farm its own district. The County Attorney is currently reviewing these potential <br />amendments, for potential Commissioner consideration in the fall. <br />Orange County currently has eight individual Voluntary Agricultural Districts (two are owned by <br />the same farmer), which are located throughout the rural community. The Agricultural <br />Preservation Board received one application this year for atwo-parcel farm operating active <br />forestry. One tract did not meet the qualifying farmland criteria and the remaining tract did not <br />meet the acreage requirement, so the application was denied. Should the County approve the <br />proposed amendments, the application should satisfy the necessary criteria. <br />Orange County Farms ParticinatinA in the VA District Program <br />vAD Farm Owner Acreage <br />No. Actual Rounded-off <br />1 Bacon/Johnson 157.884 158 <br />2 Barbour 139.901 140 <br />3 Miller 142.188 142 <br />4 Nutter 364.055 364 <br />5a 5tra horn New Hoe 131.597 132 <br />5b Stra horn Little River) 437.996 438 <br />6 Tate 93.960 94 <br />7 Walters 398.410 398 <br />8 W nn 178.918 179 <br /> <br /> Totals 2044.909 2045 <br /> <br />
