Service Description: Farmland Resources
Vermont’s farms grow regional sources of food, contribute to the local economy, and help to perpetuate the scenic landscape of pastures and forested mountains appreciated by residents and tourists (Vermont Working Landscape Council, 2011; Buldoc and Kessel, 2008). Vermont’s farms can also provide essential habitat for wildlife, including multiple grassland bird Species of Greatest Conservation Need (Vermont Wildlife Action Plan Team, 2015). Barns and other ancillary farm infrastructure like manure pits, paddocks, and silage bunkers, are essential parts of the working farm, along with the fields and pastures. All fields and pastures are not created equal; some soils and topographies are much more productive and important for agriculture. The Farmland Resources map shows the town’s farming backbone, including Farms, Fields, and Important Agricultural Soils.
