PRIME FARMLAND AS MAPPED BY FMMPIn order to be shown on FMMP’s Important Farmland Maps as Prime Farmland and Farmland of Statewide Importance, land must meet both the following criteria:Land Use:Has been used for irrigated agricultural production at some time during the four years prior to the Important Farmland Map date. Irrigated land use is determined by FMMP staff by analyzing current aerial photos, local comment letters, and related GIS data, supplemented with field verification.-- AND --Soil:The soil must meet the physical and chemical criteria for Prime Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance as determined by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). NRCS compiles lists of which soils in each survey area meet the quality criteria. Factors considered in qualification of a soil by NRCS include:Water moisture regimes, available water capacity, and developed irrigation water supplySoil temperature rangeAcid-alkali balanceWater tableSoil sodium contentFlooding (uncontrolled runoff from natural precipitation)ErodibilityPermeability rateRock fragment contentSoil rooting depthFor more detail about the soil criteria and mapping categories, please read this excerpt from the FMMP Guidelines.
