- Abstract: Agricultural Land Use Land Cover.
- Purpose:
-
The Agricultural Uses layer was developed in order to better understand density of agriculture uses within the highlands region
- Supplemental_Information:
-
The Agricultural Uses, is an intensity indicator that represents the extent of lands that are currently in agricultural use based upon NJDEP 2007 Land Use Land Cover data, Agricultural lands are used primarily for the production of food and fiber and some of the structures associated with this production. Categories include cropland and pastureland, orchards, vineyards, nurseries and horticultural areas, confined feeding operations, and other agriculture (includes equine).
Some areas were removed from Agricultural Uses based on municipal verification during the conformance process in the following municipalities:
Byram Township, Sussex
High Bridge Borough, Hunterdon
Washington Township, Morris
