Book excerpt: Excerpt from Land Use Planning Under Way UP and down the land during the last year, farm men and women have organized themselves into community and county land use planning committees. In counties in 47 States they are sitting down with representatives of Federal, State, and local agencies to develop agricultural plans, policies and programs for their counties. These committees are planning for action by individuals, by groups, or by public agencies. What sort of problems are the committees tackling? How are they trying to solve these problems? What results have they achieved? Where are the committees located? What about the size and composition of the county committees? Of the community committees? These are just a few of the questions that have been asked since the United States Department of Agriculture and the land-grant colleges agreed to cooperate in sponsoring land use planning by farmers. This publication has been prepared to answer many such questions. But first it is necessary to consider briefly a few more basic questions. What is county land use planning in the first place? How did it come about? How does it work? Let us start with the question, What is county land use planning? It is a cooperative effort on the part of representative farmers, various agencies of the Department of Agriculture, the land-grant colleges, and other State and local agencies to work out agricultural plans and policies that will (1) aid in coordinating various agricultural programs so that they will fit together into a well-rounded whole, (2) help them function most effectively toward long-time as well as emergency goals, and (3) develop any new programs that are needed.
