Abstract:
This act formalizes the practice of consultation by allowing the Department of Agriculture to be involved in any discussion about possible changes in land use regulations. The language requires the Department to be sure that while they are evaluating farm practice, they are also providing good information about farming practices in general to the town or village. If necessary, the Department may invoke its Section 305-A authority regarding the coordination of land use deci-sion-making with the general agricultural districts program in a more timely fashion.
