2024-5 Chemung County Agriculture and Farmland Protection Board

The New York State (NYS) Constitution directs the State Legislature to protect agricultural lands, which the State and its counties have done together since the implementation of Article 25AA of the Agriculture and Markets Law in 1971. This law authorizes the preservation and protection of agricultural lands and products. Section 302 of that Law provides for the establishment of an Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board (the "Board") by the County Legislature. In Chemung County, the Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board's powers and duties include:

• Advise the county legislative body on matters related to the proposed establishment, modification, continuation, or termination of any state-certified Article 25AA agricultural district (Ag District FAQ).
• Review notice of intent filings (pursuant to Article 25AA) and make findings and recommendations on the potential impacts of governmental actions involving lands in state-certified Article 25AA agricultural districts.
• At the request of one or more owners of land used in agricultural production, review the land classification established by the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets for such land and recommend revisions the specific classification to the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets.

Board meetings are open to the public
