Principal Data Sources include digital soil survey data, produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Natural Resources Conservation Service; with aerial imagery from the National Agricultural Imagery Program (NAIP) and AirPhotoUSA. Additional imagery for rural areas included Landsat 7 satellite data and aerial imagery acquired by the High Altitude Missions Branch of NASA.

Cultural base information for the Important Farmland Maps was derived from public domain data sets, based upon design of the U.S. Geological Survey, with updates generated by digitizing over current imagery.

Additional data on land management and land use conversion activity was made available from the U. S. Forest Service, California Department of Transportation, and the California Integrated Waste Management Board. GIS data posted at county and city websites proved valuable in many locations.

Map reviewer comments contribute substantially to improving the quality of the information. These reviewers include county and city planning offices, county agricultural commissioners, resource conservation districts, Natural Resources Conservation Service district conservationists, California Farm Bureau Federation, University of California Cooperative Extension, California Cattlemen's Association, local water and irrigation districts, public interest groups, and building industry representatives. Many of these groups also participated in development of the Farmland of Local Importance definitions for their respective counties.

The Department of Conservation’s mission is to balance today’s needs with tomorrow’s challenges and foster intelligent, sustainable,

and efficient use of California’s energy, land, and mineral resources.

April 2009 Dear Land Conservation Partner: On behalf of the Department of Conservation I am pleased to present the California Farmland Conversion Report 2004-2006. This analysis of agricultural land use conversion trends, based on detailed geographic information system mapping, is the eleventh biennial report of the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP). The FMMP was established more than 20 years ago to document the location and extent of California’s important farmlands, and to report on how they change over time. The Important Farmland Maps are used in the planning process to gauge the impact of planning decisions on agricultural land throughout the State. Population projections and today’s environmental challenges make this information more important than ever. Farm and grazing lands in California decreased by nearly 275 square miles (176,014 acres) between 2004 and 2006. The highest-quality agricultural soils, known as Prime Farmland, comprised 46 percent of the loss (81,247 acres). Urban land increased by 102,010 acres, nearly unchanged relative to the 2002-2004 reporting period, but conversions were focused in a smaller number of counties. Other types of change were substantial as well: land idling, conversion to wildlife areas, low-density residential uses, and confined animal agriculture facilities. The report contains county and regional summaries of the dynamics that occurred beyond the urban edge, providing context for larger planning issues. Identifying strategic farmland resources is an important first step in maintaining California’s agricultural vitality. The Department of Conservation thanks the agricultural organizations and local governments that work with us to produce these useful tools for conservation planning. Sincerely,

Bridgett Luther Director

Executive Summary, 2004-2006

IRRIGATED FARMLAND LOSSES ACCELERATED COMPARED WITH THE 2002-2004 PERIOD, AS STEADY URBANIZATION RATES COMBINED WITH CHANGING AGRICULTURAL MARKETS AND RESOURCE AVAILABILITY FACTORS.

Farm and grazing lands in California decreased by 275 square miles (176,014 acres) between 2004 and 2006 as documented by the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP). The highest-quality agricultural soils, known as Prime Farmland, comprised 46% of the loss (81,247 acres). Urban development was concentrated in a smaller number of counties, resulting in an increase of 0.2% in urbanization relative to the 2002-04 period (102,010 and 101,825 acres, respectively).

The FMMP biennial mapping survey covers approximately 96% of the privately owned land in the state (48.2 million acres) in 49 counties. Land use information is gathered using air photos and land management data, which is combined with soil quality data in a geographic information system (GIS) to produce maps and statistics. The earliest data for most counties is from 1984.

Urban Development Pattern Narrows

Urbanization was concentrated in a smaller number of counties relative to the 2004 update: while the top ten counties comprised 65% of new urban lands between 2002 and 2004, the figure was 74% during the 2006 mapping cycle. Riverside County alone accounted for 23% of the newly developed land. Southern California led all regions with 47% of the developed acres, while the San Joaquin Valley ranked second at 23% of the total. The Sacramento metropolitan area was third most active with 16% of new urban acres; Sacramento County’s expansion of nearly 10,000 acres was a record high. The San Francisco Bay region continued to decline in prominence; it last fell within the top three ranks during the 2000-02 update cycle.

Southern California’s urbanization rate increased by 18%, led primarily by Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Orange counties. Irrigated farmland was the source of just over 17% of the region’s new urban land, with an additional 41% occurring on grazing land or historically farmed land.

In contrast, 61% of new urban land in the San Joaquin Valley impacted irrigated farmland. Kern, Fresno, and San Joaquin counties led the region in overall acreage developed. Stanislaus County was notable as having the highest proportion of urban development on Prime Farmland (81%), followed by Tulare and San Joaquin counties (47% and 46%, respectively). In all, nearly 73% of urbanization in the San Joaquin Valley took place on farm or grazing lands.

Housing was the largest component of new urban acreage, with developments ranging from small infill sites to planned community units of 300 acres or more. New infrastructure to support residential uses was also common; Riverside County provided the following examples: sixteen new schools, nearly 1,400 acres of golf courses, two landfill expansions, as well as retail and distribution facilities. Notable examples from other counties included expansion of industrial facilities, airport construction, and water evaporation ponds. In some areas, increased structural density prompted reclassification from Other Land to Urban and Built-up Land.

Agricultural Trends

While urbanization is an important component of agricultural land conversion, economic and resource availability factors also lead to more intensive farming or removal from irrigated uses. Conversion from grasslands to orchards, specifically almonds, was common along the western Sierra Nevada foothills and

Page 12: CALIFORNIA FARMLAND CONVERSION REPORT 2004 …€¦ · CALIFORNIA FARMLAND CONVERSION REPORT 2004-2006 December 2008 Documenting changes in agricultural land use since …

eastern flank of the coast range, but overall irrigated lands development decreased by 2% compared with the 2002-04 period. Two-thirds of the land brought into irrigated uses did not meet Prime Farmland criteria.

Land was removed from irrigated categories--to uses aside from urban--at a rate 10% higher than the prior update (188,109 acres in 2002-04 and 207,227 acres in 2004-06). Land idling and dry cropping were the largest factors in the increase, particularly along the western side of the San Joaquin Valley. New soil data in Modoc County was also responsible for a large technical reclassification as nearly 10,000 acres of pasture land no longer met criteria for the major farmland classes.

Conversion to Other Land declined by 16% between the two updates (from 61,246 acres to 51,611 acres). San Joaquin and Sacramento valley counties accounted for 43% and 19% of the total, respectively. Most of the rural residential growth was fragmented, with individual units typically in the 10-50 acre range. Larger single conversions, conversely, were associated with ecological restoration or wetland reserve projects, sand and gravel mining, and confined animal agriculture facilities.

Data on Rural Residential Uses and Other Improvements

Conversion data from 22 years of Important Farmland mapping indicates that for every five acres leaving agricultural use, four convert to Urban Land and one converts to Other Land. Expanded information on Other Land conversions is the focus of the Rural Land Mapping project. Four San Joaquin Valley counties were previously enhanced as a pilot effort; additional counties are being added as funding allows.

Among the pilot counties, ranging from Stanislaus to Fresno, Prime Farmland losses to low density residential and ecological restoration uses totaled 5,394 acres during the 2004-06 update. An additional 1,065 acres of Prime Farmland were converted to Vacant or Disturbed uses, and 652 acres became Confined Animal Agriculture facilities. Since tracking of these counties began in 2002, Confined Animal Agriculture facilities and Rural Residential and Commercial areas have increased at the highest rates (18% and 12%, respectively). Urban acreage in the counties increased by 9% during the same four year timeframe.

The availability of new USDA soil surveys led to a number of additions this update, the largest being the addition of Mendocino County (2.0 million acres), and the upgrade of nearly 2.7 million acres in Kern County. As part of FMMP’s continuous improvement goals, full size PDF maps of each county are now available online so that non-GIS users can access the information for their studies.

Net Change

California’s urban land grew by 102,010 acres, nearly 160 square miles, between 2004 and 2006. Conversions to Other Land totaled 73,789 acres over the same time period. Combined with Urban and Other Land increases during the 2002-04 period (101,825 acres and 67,643 acres, respectively), more than 539 square miles moved out of agricultural uses over the 2002-2006 timeframe. This is approximately the size of the land area of Marin County, or five times the size of the City of Sacramento.

The net irrigated farmland loss was 156,650 acres during the 2006 update, 13% larger than the 2002-04 period. Prime Farmland’s decrease of 81,247 acres was a record, breaking the 78, 575 acre record set during the 2002-04 reporting period.

Chapter 1: The Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program

DOCUMENTING CHANGES IN AGRICULTURAL LAND USE SINCE 1984. The goal of the Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program (FMMP) is to provide

consistent, timely, and accurate data to decision makers for use in assessing present status, reviewing trends, and planning for the future of California’s agricultural land resources. The extent of urbanization since the Program’s 1984 inception is illustrated in yellow for part of Riverside County (Figure 1).

Approximately 96% of the privately owned land in the state (48.2 million acres) was mapped this update cycle by FMMP. The survey area is shown on page 5 (Figure 2). Each map is updated every two years, providing an archive for tracking land use change over time.

Using a geographic information system (GIS), aerial imagery, local input, and other information, FMMP combines soil quality data and current land use information to produce Important Farmland Maps. The program is funded through the state's Soil Conservation Fund. This fund receives revenues from Williamson Act contract cancellation fees.

Advances in technology have supported significant data improvements in recent years, including the incorporation of digital soil survey data and the use of detailed digital imagery. Similarly, the number of products available has grown with the requirements of users - including printed maps, PDF maps, statistics, field reports, and GIS data. The maps and data are used in environmental studies to assess the impacts of proposed development on agricultural and open space land. In recent years, FMMP data has become widely used in urbanization and environmental modeling, and comparative land cover studies.

In addition, only land that is classified in one of the four main agricultural categories on Important Farmland Maps is eligible for enrollment in Farmland Security Zone (FSZ) contracts. Under FSZ contracts, landowners receive substantial property tax benefits for committing to keep their land in agricultural use for 20-year periods.

This is the eleventh Farmland Conversion Report produced by the FMMP, the current report covering the 2004 to 2006 period.

Important Farmland Map Categories

FMMP's study area is coincident with the boundaries of U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) modern soil surveys. Technical ratings of the soils and current land use information are combined to determine the appropriate map category. The minimum land use mapping unit for all categories is 10 acres unless otherwise noted; soil units as small as one acre are maintained to most accurately represent the original USDA data.

Prime Farmland has the best combination of physical and chemical features able to sustain long-term agricultural production. This land has the soil quality, growing season, and moisture supply needed to produce sustained high yields. Land must have been used for irrigated agricultural production at some time during the four years prior to the mapping date.

Farmland of Statewide Importance is similar to Prime Farmland but with minor shortcomings, such as greater slopes or less ability to store soil moisture. Land must have been used for irrigated agricultural production at some time during the four years prior to the mapping date.

Unique Farmland consists of lesser quality soils used for the production of the state's leading agricultural crops. This land is usually irrigated, but may include nonirrigated orchards or vineyards as found in some climatic zones in California. Land must have been cropped at some time during the four years prior to the mapping date.

Farmland of Local Importance is land of importance to the local agricultural economy as determined by each county's board of supervisors and a local advisory committee. The definitions for this category are detailed in Appendix E of this report.

Grazing Land is land on which the existing vegetation is suited to the grazing of livestock. This category was developed in cooperation with the California Cattlemen's Association, University of California Cooperative Extension, and other groups interested in the extent of grazing activities.

Urban and Built-up Land is occupied by structures with a building density of at least 1 unit to 1.5 acres, or approximately 6 structures to a 10-acre parcel. Common examples include residential, industrial, commercial, institutional facilities, cemeteries, airports, golf courses, sanitary landfills, sewage treatment, and water control structures.

Water is defined as perennial water bodies with an extent of at least 40 acres.

Other Land is land not included in any other mapping category. Common examples include low density rural developments, vegetative and riparian areas not suitable for livestock grazing, confined animal agriculture facilities, strip mines, borrow pits, and water bodies smaller than 40 acres. Vacant and nonagricultural land surrounded on all sides by urban development and greater than 40 acres is mapped as Other Land. More detailed data on these uses is available in counties containing the Rural Land Use Mapping categories.

Rural Land Use Mapping Categories

The Rural Land Mapping project provides more map and statistical detail than standard Important Farmland Map products by delineating Other Land into four subcategories, as described on page 5. Conversion data is only available in four pilot counties at this time; please see page 18 and the Appendix D tables.

California Farmland Conversion Report 2004-2006

Page 5

Rural Residential and Rural Commercial includes residential areas of one to five structures per ten acres, farmsteads, small packing sheds, unpaved parking areas, composting facilities, firewood lots and campgrounds.

Vacant or Disturbed Land consists of open field areas that do not qualify for an agricultural category, mineral and oil extraction areas, and rural freeway interchanges.

Confined Animal Agriculture includes aquaculture, dairies, feedlots, and poultry facilities.

Nonagricultural and Natural Vegetation covers heavily wooded, rocky or barren areas, riparian and wetland areas, grassland areas which do not qualify for Grazing Land due to their size or land management restrictions, small water bodies, and recreational water ski lakes. Constructed wetlands are also included in this category. The Rural Land classes are not designed for interpretation as habitat. Geographic data on the extent of habitat for various species may be available from other state and federal entities.

Optional Designation

Land Committed to Nonagricultural Use is defined as existing farmland, grazing land, and vacant areas that have a permanent commitment for development. This optional designation allows local governments to provide detail on the nature of changes expected to occur in the future. It is available both statistically and as an overlay to the Important Farmland Map.

Survey Area Coverage

In Figure 2, the ‘Irrigated Farmland’ area includes Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, and Unique Farmland categories. The ‘Dryland Farming and Grazing Land’ designation includes the Farmland of Local Importance and Grazing Land categories.

Locations shown as ‘Out of Survey Area’ may be added in the future, while those indicated as ‘Local, State, and Federal Owned Land’ are not planned for incorporation. Examples of government owned land include National Parks, Forests, and Bureau of Land Management lands. Please note that small areas of public land are included in the Important Farmland survey area - generally appearing as ‘Other Land’ on the map.

Chapter 2: 2004-2006 Improvements

SURVEY AREA ADDITIONS AND WEB-BASED MAPS HIGHLIGHT FMMP’S CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. Each update cycle provides the opportunity to make improvements to the Important

Farmland data, in order to achieve increased accuracy, process efficiency, or better reporting capabilities. During the 2004-06 update, Mendocino County and parts of Stanislaus County were added to the survey, and upgrades were made in Kern and Modoc counties due to digital soil availability (Figure 3). Other improvements included better quality base map data and full-size PDF maps on the web. Many of these improvements were funded with a temporary augmentation FMMP received from the 2000 Safe Drinking Water, Clean Water, Watershed Protection, and Flood Protection Act (Proposition 13).

Mendocino County Addition

The completion of two USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) soil surveys in Mendocino County supported the addition of 2.0 million acres to the Important Farmland survey area. With a base mapping year of 2006, the map is in draft status pending approval of a Farmland of Local Importance category by local agencies. Draft 2006 statistics appear at right and in Table A-17.

Stanislaus County Addition

A gap of nearly 101,000 acres in the northeast section of Stanislaus County was filled due to the completion of an NRCS soil survey for the area. This addition, made to the 2004 data, brings Important Farmland coverage of the county to 100% (Table A-41).

Kern County Upgrade

The completion of NRCS soil surveys for the northeastern and southwestern parts of Kern County allowed FMMP to upgrade more than 2.6 million acres to Important Farmland status. Without soil data, prior maps documented only the extent of irrigated and nonirrigated land in these locations. This was carried out on the 2004 data, and complete Important Farmland conversion statistics (Table A-10) are now available for this important agricultural county, which ranks fourth in agricultural income statewide.

Modoc County Upgrade

The Surprise Valley area of Modoc County has been in the FMMP survey area since 1984, but digital soil data only became available this update cycle. As a result, 2004-06 conversion statistics for Modoc County contain some anomalies—primarily due to more detailed data for soil units associated with the county’s Farmland of Local Importance definition. A 574 acre survey area addition also resulted from the alignment of the digital product to revised government land boundaries (Table A-19).

Improved Base Map Data and Full Size PDF Maps

Historically the roads, streams, and administrative boundaries shown on the Important Farmland Maps were derived from scanned U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 1:100,000 maps. The products were suitable for county-wide maps but did not have sufficient resolution for high quality enlargements or web posting. FMMP brought together data from various sources and digitized additional features to create base maps which reflect the original USGS design, yet have greater detail and ease of updating.

It is these base maps which made posting of full size PDF maps on the internet possible, starting with the 2006 information. This provides non-GIS users the option of zooming in to areas of interest, copying, and pasting them into their projects. Adobe Acrobat, the software that creates and reads PDF files, is expected to support area and linear measurements in the future.

Chapter 3: Understanding the Data

LOCATING AND INTERPRETING THE CALIFORNIA FARMLAND CONVERSION REPORT’S TABULAR DATA AND GRAPHICS. Important Farmland information is developed on an individual county basis, taking two

years to map the 48.2 million acre survey area. This report begins with each county’s information, compiling it in various ways to produce the summary and analysis in Chapter 4.

Source Data: County Conversion Tables - Appendix A

These tables include acreage tallies and conversion statistics for individual counties. Figure 5 depicts how conversion tables are constructed.

Statewide Conversion – Chapter 4, Table 4

This table summarizes material from all three sections of the Appendix A tables and has the same structure as the individual county tables.

2004 and 2006 County Acreage Tallies – Appendix B

Values for the individual years (Tables B-1 and B-2) are extracted from Part I of the tables in Appendix A. These tables also indicate the proportion of each county that lies within the FMMP survey area — mapping typically ends at the boundaries of National Forests, for example. Table B-3 shows this same information for 2006, grouped by region.

County and Regional Conversion Summaries – Appendix C

The counties are grouped into geographic regions as seen in Figure 6. Much of the analysis in Chapter 4 is based on the data in Appendix C.

Table C-1 Classifies sources of new urban land for the period, by county and region.

Table C-2 Identifies conversions in or out of agriculture aside from urbanization, capturing the ebb and flow of agricultural land use change over time.

Table C-3 Documents net agricultural change from all factors, grouped by region and ranked by acreage.

Rural Land Use Mapping Tables – Appendix D

Contains data on changes associated with a more detailed subdivision of the Other Land category. Four pilot counties contain conversion data; while Kern and Mendocino counties have data starting in 2006.

Simplifying Assumptions

In order to conduct comparative analysis, certain simplifying assumptions have been made. For example, Unique Farmland is considered to be an irrigated farmland category, even though a small percentage of land within the Unique Farmland category supports high value nonirrigated crops, such as some coastal vineyards. Conversely, Farmland of Local Importance is considered to be a nonirrigated category although it also supports some irrigated pasture on lower-quality soils.

Statistical Notes

Residual polygons, those less than the 10- or 40-acre minimum land use mapping unit, are a natural result of the mapping process as changes are made to adjacent areas. In order to maintain map unit consistency, these small units are absorbed into the most appropriate adjacent land use type. This process results in shifts among categories that may appear anomalous in the conversion statistics - such as urban to agriculture or Prime Farmland to Farmland of Statewide Importance.

Once land use and digital soil data are merged to create the Important Farmland data, units of less than 1.0 acre are reclassified into the next most appropriate category to optimize the data files. Tabular data is reported in whole numbers; small variations in category totals may result from rounding to whole numbers.

Particularly large or anomalous changes are footnoted at the bottom of each table. Additional detail is available in the field analyst report produced for each county.

Chapter 4: Land Use Conversion, 2004-2006

URBANIZATION RATES REMAINED STEADY, WHILE IRRIGATED FARMLAND LOSSES ACCELERATED COMPARED WITH THE 2002-2004 PERIOD. CONVERSIONS DUE TO LAND IDLING, DRYLAND FARMING, AND LOW DENSITY DEVELOPMENT HAD INCREASED IMPACT.

California’s agricultural landscape continues to evolve with economic and resource-related factors. Between 2004 and 2006, development pressure on inland counties led to 102,010 new urban acres, a less than 0.2% increase relative to the 101,825 acres occurring between 2002 and 2004. More than 25% of conversions were derived from irrigated farmland, and an additional 35% from dryland farming and grazing land.

Strong markets for grain crops, water availability issues, and conversions to low density rural uses affected irrigated acreage in many areas of the state. Combined with urbanization, this resulted in a 13% larger decrease in irrigated land totals than the 2002-04 period (156,650 and 138,644 acres, respectively). Changes in major categories for both periods are shown in Figure 7 below.

TABLE 2: URBANIZATION FROM ALL CATEGORIES

TABLE 3: REGIONAL URBANIZATION RANKING

Urbanization

Southern California counties dominated the top ten urbanizing list during the 2006 Important Farmland update, with Riverside County’s record-breaking development pace accounting for nearly 23% of

new urban land in the state (Table 2). Four additional counties in the region contributed to it hosting 47% of the two-year urbanization total. The San Joaquin Valley held three slots on the top urbanizing list: Kern, Fresno, and San Joaquin counties. Sacramento and Placer counties rounded out the list; Sacramento County’s total was also a record in FMMP history. For the first time, the list did not include any San Francisco Bay area counties. Urbanization was concentrated in a smaller number of counties relative to the 2004 update: while the top ten counties comprised 65% of new urban lands between 2002 and 2004, the figure was 74% during the 2006 mapping cycle.

Regional rankings (Table 3) echo the individual county results as Southern California’s urbanized acreage exceeded the prior update’s conversions by more than 18% (7,310 acres). The San Joaquin and Sacramento Valley regions held on to ranks two and three in urban development. Conversions in the San Francisco Bay region continue to decline in prominence; it last fell within the top three ranks during the 2000-02 update cycle.

In northern California, regions that are viewed in terms of their geomorphic boundaries - the Sacramento Valley and Sierra Foothill regions – could also be seen in terms of metropolitan areas. Under that scenario, the six county Sacramento Area Council of Governments jurisdiction would account for 16,348 acres, or 16%, of the state’s urbanization between 2004 and 2006. This would result in all the remaining counties of the Sacramento Valley and Sierra Foothills totaling 3,195 urbanized acres during the update, less than that of the four Central Coast counties.

Housing developments were the most frequent and largest category of newly urbanized land. Most of the increase was associated with single family homes located at the periphery of existing cities, and to a lesser degree condominium and apartment complexes. Individual subdivisions ranged up to 300 acres in size. In some areas, increased structural density or other infill projects prompted reclassification from Other Land to Urban and Built-up Land.

TABLE 5: IRRIGATED FARMLAND TO URBAN RANKS

Retail and commercial developments and community infrastructure were also common. Riverside County provides the following examples: at least sixteen new schools, most being about 15 acres in size; nearly 1,400 acres of golf courses; two landfill expansions totaling 125 acres; and 320 acres of warehouse distribution facilities. About 60% of city expansion in Riverside County occurred on irrigated and historically farmed property. Notable examples from other counties included expansion of Aerojet General industrial facilities (Sacramento County, 350 acres); 320 acres of terminal and runway construction at airports in San Bernardino and Kern counties (California Logistics Airport and Bakersfield Airport, respectively); and water evaporation ponds in Fresno County (270 acres).

Urbanization’s impact on irrigated farmland was again concentrated in San Joaquin Valley (‘Valley’) counties; six of the top ten slots of this conversion type were located in the region (Table 5 and Appendix Table C-1). In San Joaquin County, new developments near Tracy, Lathrop, and north Stockton absorbed much of the growth. Kern County’s irrigated land losses surrounded Bakersfield; while the cities of Fresno and Clovis predominated in Fresno County’s conversions. Stanislaus County was notable as having the highest proportion of urban development on Prime Farmland (81%), followed by Tulare and San Joaquin counties (47% and 46%, respectively).

All told, 41% of new urban land in the Valley came from Prime Farmland and an additional 13% came from Farmland of Statewide Importance and Unique Farmland during the 2004-06 period. The statistics represent a decrease from 2002-04, when the figures were 48% and 13%, respectively. However, it is notable that the proportion of new urban lands in the Valley on idled farmland and grazing land increased from 14% to 19% between the two cycles.

Statewide statistics for urbanization of irrigated land mirror those of the Valley between the two updates: Prime Farmland to Urban dropped from 19% to 17% of the total, and from 9% to 8% for the remaining irrigated categories. Previous Farmland Conversion Reports have documented the retirement of irrigated lands surrounding existing cities in anticipation of urban conversion; current data supports continuation of this phenomenon. The relative location and type of land converted to urban uses is shown graphically in Figure 8 (page 15).

FIGURE 8: SOURCES OF URBAN LAND 2004-2006 (ACRES)

Other Changes Affecting Agricultural Land

The goal of Important Farmland mapping is to track long-term trends in agricultural land resource use. While urbanization is an important component of these trends, economic and resource availability factors also lead to lands being more intensively farmed or being taken out of irrigated uses. Appendix Table C-2 documents the extent to which these factors affected the data during the 2004-06 cycle.

Land is converted to irrigated agricultural use when dry pastures or native vegetation are converted, or when idled land is brought back into production. Conversions to irrigated categories affected 78,857 acres between 2004 and 2006, a 2% decrease from the prior cycle. Keeping with historic precedent, 65% of the land brought into agricultural use did not meet the criteria for Prime Farmland.

San Joaquin Valley counties accounted for 42% of the land brought into irrigated uses (Figure 9, page 16), while Southern California and the Sacramento Valley each comprised 14% of the total.

Three counties had irrigated land expansions in excess of 5,000 acres: Kern, Merced, and Stanislaus. Many of the additions were orchards, almonds in particular, located along the Sierra foothills. Almonds are the state’s top agricultural export commodity; the California Department of Food and Agriculture reports that

almond plantings increased by 90,000 acres statewide between 2004 and 20061. Other crops planted included vegetables, sod farms, and alfalfa. The alfalfa plantings in the San Joaquin Valley support the trend of dairy movement into the region from Southern California.

Expansions in Southern California were primarily for row crops, nurseries, alfalfa, and orchards in areas such as Perris and the Temecula Valley (Riverside County), Fallbrook (San Diego County), and Antelope Valley (Los Angeles County). In the Sacramento Valley, orchards were popular along the interior Coast Range foothills in Colusa, Glenn, Tehama, and Yolo counties.

Land is removed from irrigated categories in one of three ways: urbanization, conversion to Other Land, or reclassification to a dryland agriculture class. Dryland farming classes include Grazing Land and Farmland of Local Importance. In counties with Rural Land Mapping enhancements, more detailed information about conversions to Other Land is available.

FIGURE 10: CONVERSIONS OUT OF IRRIGATED CATEGORIES 2004-2006 (ACRES)

Reclassifications to Grazing Land or Farmland of Local Importance due to land idling, long-term dryland farming, or conversion to confined animal agriculture facilities have accelerated in recent updates. Between 2004 and 2006, 155,616 acres were affected, a 23% increase over the prior cycle. Regions most impacted were the San Joaquin Valley, Sacramento Valley, and the North State counties (37%, 16%, and 15%, respectively; Figure 10). Fresno, Kings, and Merced each had more than 10,000 acres reclassified, primarily on the west side of the San Joaquin Valley. The bulk of these changes were due to land idling or dryland farming; conversion to confined animal agriculture facilities was less extensive than in recent update cycles.

Yolo and Sacramento counties dominated statistics for land removed from irrigated uses in the Sacramento Valley region, though the reasons differed. Yolo County experienced continued land idling near expanding wildlife areas in the Yolo Bypass; while in Sacramento, land was taken out of agricultural use in anticipation of urban development in the Natomas Basin and Elk Grove areas.

A large proportion of the North State’s conversion represented technical improvements resulting from incorporation of the new digital soil survey for Surprise Valley in Modoc County. Nearly 10,000 acres that had qualified for Farmland of Statewide Importance based on the paper soil survey were reassessed using modern soil classification standards, resulting in their conversion to Farmland of Local Importance. The Surprise Valley survey is the last of many to be converted to digital format.

TABLE 6: RURAL LAND MAPPING STATUS

Reclassification to Other Land is less frequent but is typically more permanent in nature than land idling. This is because many of the new uses involve low density residential development, mining, ecological restoration, or similar changes.

Between 2004 and 2006, 51,611 acres statewide were reclassified from irrigated agriculture to Other Land. This was a 16% decrease from the prior update cycle. San Joaquin and Sacramento Valley counties accounted for 43% and 19% of the total, respectively. Common to many counties were expansions of rural residential areas, and delineation of farmsteads at the 10 acre minimum mapping unit. In a continuing trend toward better source data, imagery used in the update was one meter or better resolution, allowing more detailed mapping of small units. Most of the rural residential growth was fragmented, with individual units typically in the 10-50 acre range. Larger single conversions, conversely, were associated with ecological restoration or wetland reserve projects, sand and gravel mining, and confined animal agriculture facilities. Some of these changes were hundreds of acres in size.

In the San Joaquin Valley, Tulare and Stanislaus counties converted the largest acreages from irrigated uses to Other Land (4,829 acres and 4,401 acres, respectively). One third of the change in Tulare County was due to wetland reserve easements, while in Stanislaus County nearly half (48%) of the conversions were associated with wildlife refuge additions and wetland reserves. Kern, Madera and Merced counties contained notable conversions to dairies or poultry facilities; these uses are not included in their Farmland of Local Importance definitions. In the Sacramento Valley, ecological restoration sites in Colusa, Glenn, Sacramento, and Yolo counties were significant factors in Other Land conversion. Urban influenced counties, including Sacramento, San Joaquin, and Yolo, included larger mining operation expansions.

Counties with Rural Land Mapping Enhancements

More than 28% of the Important Farmland survey area is classified as Other Land. While urbanization has historically been the driving force in agricultural land loss, FMMP’s statistics over the years indicate that conversions to Other Land are one quarter the scope of conversions to urban. In other words, for every four acres of land exiting crop or grazing land, three convert to Urban Land and one converts to Other Land. Users began requesting more detail about the various land uses within the generic Other Land category. As a result, four San Joaquin Valley counties were enhanced with the Rural Land Mapping classes (page 5) as a pilot effort.

Based on initial findings, requests from map users to expand the enhancements followed. FMMP is attempting to accommodate these enhancements on a funds-available basis. Additions to the survey area or upgrades

due to new soil data created opportunities to further this effort (Table 6).

As of this report, conversion statistics are available only in the pilot counties. County data and summaries for the Rural Land categories are located in Appendix D. The entire San Joaquin Valley will be available for comparison in the 2006-08 report.

TABLE 7: PERCENT CHANGE IN RURAL LAND CATEGORIES

Rural Land Mapping categories expanded in the pilot counties by a total of 18,410 acres (6.6%) between 2004 and 2006 (Table D-1). Increases for individual counties totaled: 2.2% in Madera, 3.9% in Merced, 8.7% in Stanislaus, and 8.8% in Fresno. The largest increases were in the Rural Residential and Rural Commercial Land category (11,350 acres), however, 6,000 acres of this increase was due to a technical correction resulting from improved imagery in the Sierra foothill portion of Fresno County. Subtracting for this correction, Fresno’s net increase in Rural Land classes would be 3.4%; and the four county pilot total for Rural Land category increases would be 12,410 acres (4.5%).

Conversions to Nonagricultural and Natural Vegetation were the second most common change at 3,580 acres for the four counties. These conversions are the result of ecological restoration projects or wetland reserves, as described in the section above. Confined Animal Agriculture facilities additions totaled 2,579 acres.

Mirroring the impact of urbanization on San Joaquin Valley counties, conversion to the Rural Land classes primarily affected irrigated farmland. More than 7,000 acres of Prime Farmland converted to Rural Land uses in the four counties: 2,928 to low density residential and commercial, 2,466 to ecological restoration uses, 1,065 acres to Vacant or Disturbed uses, and 652 acres became Confined Animal Agriculture facilities.

Over the past two update cycles (2002-2006 timeframe), Confined Animal Agriculture facilities and Rural Residential and Rural Commercial areas have increased at the highest rates (Table 7). Included for comparison is the change in Urban and Built-up Land acreage. While urban uses take up a significantly larger footprint in the four counties than rural residential areas (241,337 acres and 94,488 acres in 2006, respectively), conversion statistics warrant close observation in the years ahead. Land development trends and agricultural markets will continue to play important roles in whether these growth rates will continue. Data from the remaining San Joaquin Valley counties will also be helpful in getting a more complete picture of land conversion trends in California’s most important agricultural valley.

Net Land Use Change

California’s urban areas grew by 102,010 acres, nearly 160 square miles, between 2004 and 2006. Conversions to Other Land totaled 73,789 acres over the same time period. Combined with increases to the same categories during the 2002-04 period (101,825 acres and 67,643 acres, respectively), more than 539 square miles moved out of agricultural uses during the 2002-2006 timeframe. This is approximately the size of the land area of Marin County, or five times the size of the City of Sacramento.

The net irrigated farmland loss was 156,650 acres during the 2006 update (Appendix Table C-3), 13% larger than the 2002-04 period. Prime Farmland’s decrease of 81,247 acres was a record, breaking the prior reporting period’s record of 78, 575 acres. Counties with the largest net losses of irrigated land are shown in Table 8.

Because the urbanization rate was nearly unchanged over the two updates, the accelerated drop in irrigated lands is associated with land idling, dryland farming, ecological restoration, and expansion of rural

residential and commercial uses; paired with a decrease in the amount of new irrigated lands being brought into production. Although grazing and pasture areas have been converted to almonds in some locations, it is not as extensive as the vineyard and specialty crop expansions of the late 1990’s and early 2000’s.

The San Joaquin Valley was responsible for 39% of the net irrigated land decrease. Complex factors related to water availability, crop markets, and urbanization pressure affected many of these counties. In the second ranking Sacramento Valley region (18%), urbanization pressure in Sacramento County was coupled with ecological restoration projects in a number of the remaining counties. Southern California was third at 15% of the total; where urbanization played a primary role but water availability was also a factor. Of note, Modoc County’s high ranking in Table 8 is related to incorporation of the digital soil survey for Surprise Valley (see page 17 for additional information).

1984-2006 Net Land Use Change

During the 11 biennial reporting cycles since FMMP was established, more than 1.2 million acres of agricultural land in California were converted to nonagricultural purposes (Table 9). Nearly 79% of this land was urbanized, while 20% became one of the miscellaneous land uses grouped into the Other Land category. Less than 1% of the conversion represents new water bodies—primarily Diamond Valley Lake, Lake Sonoma, and Los Vaqueros Reservoir (in Riverside, Sonoma, and Contra Costa counties, respectively).

The largest losses from agricultural land categories were from Prime Farmland and Grazing Land (461,272 and 425,361 acres, respectively). Urbanization at the periphery of California cities, many of which are located in agricultural valleys and coastal zones, is the primary reason these two categories are most affected. Unique Farmland showed a small net increase over the 22 year period due to expansion of high value crops—mostly orchards and vineyards—on hilly terrain. Totals and annual averages for changes in all the categories are listed in Table 9.

As 2008 mapping proceeds, economic and environmental challenges face California, and the nation as a whole. Agricultural lands will continue to reflect how these complex systems interact on the landscape. FMMP will support informed planning decisions with timely and accurate data capturing these trends as they evolve.

Farmland of Local Importance

Background

Farmland of Local Importance is land of importance to the local economy, as defined by each county's local advisory committee and adopted by its Board of Supervisors. Farmland of Local Importance is either currently producing, or has the capability of production, but does not meet the criteria of Prime Farmland, Farmland of Statewide Importance, or Unique Farmland. Authority to adopt or to recommend changes to the category of Farmland of Local Importance rests with the Board of Supervisors in each county.

ALAMEDA The Board of Supervisors determined that there will be no Farmland of Local Importance for Alameda County.

AMADOR Land that is currently in agricultural production and that is providing an economic return equal to that from the prime soil types.

BUTTE The Board of Supervisors determined that there will be no Farmland of Local Importance for Butte County.

COLUSA The following lands are to be included in the Farmland of Local Importance category: All farmable lands within Colusa County that do not meet the definitions of Prime, Statewide, or Unique, but are currently irrigated pasture or nonirrigated crops; or nonirrigated land with soils qualifying for Prime Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance; or lands that would have Prime or Statewide designation and have been improved for irrigation but are now idle; or lands with a General Plan Land Use designation for agricultural purposes; and lands that are legislated to be used only for agricultural (farmland) purposes.

CONTRA COSTA The lands within the Tassajara area, extending eastward to the county boundary and bordered on the north by the Black Hills, the Deer, Lone Tree and Briones Valleys, the Antioch area, and the Delta. These lands are typically used for livestock grazing. They are capable of producing dryland grain on a two year summer fallow or longer rotation with volunteer hay and pasture. The farmlands in this category are included in the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service's Land Capability Classes I, II, III, and IV, and lack some irrigation water.

EL DORADO Lands that do not qualify for the Prime, Statewide, or Unique designation but are considered Existing Agricultural Lands, or Potential Agricultural Lands, in the Agricultural Land Element of the County General Plan. Timberlands are excluded.

FRESNO All farmable lands within Fresno County that do not meet the definitions of Prime, Statewide, or Unique. This includes land that is or has been used for irrigated pasture, dryland farming, confined livestock and dairy, poultry facilities, aquaculture and grazing land.

GLENN Local Importance (L): All lands not qualifying for Prime, Statewide, or Unique that are cropped on a continuing

KINGS Land that supports the following commercial agricultural activities: dairies, confined livestock, and poultry operations.

LAKE Lands which do not qualify as Prime Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance or Unique Farmland, but are currently irrigated pasture or nonirrigated crops; and unirrigated land with soils qualifying for Prime Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance. Areas of unirrigated Prime and Statewide Importance soils overlying ground water basins may have more potential for agricultural use.

LOS ANGELES Producing lands that would meet the standard criteria for Prime or Statewide but are not irrigated.

MADERA Lands that are presently under cultivation for small grain crops, but are not irrigated. Also lands that are currently irrigated pasture, but have the potential to be cultivated for row/field crop use.

MARIN Land which is not irrigated, but is cultivated; or has the potential for cultivation.

MARIPOSA The Board of Supervisors determined that there will be no Farmland of Local Importance for Mariposa County.

MENDOCINO The Important Farmland Map for Mendocino County is currently in draft format. A Farmland of Local Importance definition has not yet been approved by county organizations.

MERCED Farmlands that have physical characteristics that would qualify for Prime or Statewide except for the lack of irrigation water. Also, farmlands that produce crops that are not listed under Unique but are important to the economy of the county or city.

MODOC Irrigated and dry cropland classified as Class III and Class IV irrigated land if water is or becomes available.

NAPA These farmlands include areas of soils that meet all the characteristics of Prime Farmland or of additional Farmland of Statewide Importance with the exception of irrigation. These farmlands include dryland grains, haylands, and dryland pasture.

NEVADA Farmlands that have physical characteristics that would qualify for Prime or Statewide except for the lack of irrigation water. Farmlands that produce crops that are not listed under Unique Lands but are important to the economy of the county are: Christmas trees, Sudan grass, Meadow hay, chestnuts, poultry houses and feedlots, improved dryland pasture (not rangeland), and irrigated pasture (it is under Statewide or Prime if soils are listed as such, otherwise as Local).

Also, lands that are legislated to be used only for agricultural (farmland) purposes, such as Williamson Act land in western Nevada County.

ORANGE The Board of Supervisors determined that there will be no Farmland of Local Importance for Orange County.

PLACER Farmlands not covered by the categories of Prime, Statewide, or Unique. They include lands zoned for agriculture by County Ordinance and the California Land Conservation Act as well as dry farmed lands, irrigated pasture lands, and other agricultural lands of significant economic importance to the County and include lands that have a potential for irrigation from Placer County water supplies.

RIVERSIDE Soils that would be classified as Prime and Statewide but lack available irrigation water. Lands planted to dryland crops of barley, oats, and wheat.

Lands producing major crops for Riverside County but that are not listed as Unique crops.

SAN BERNARDINO Farmlands which include areas of soils that meet all the characteristics of Prime, Statewide, or Unique and which are not irrigated.

Farmlands not covered by above categories but are of high economic importance to the community. These farmlands include dryland grains of wheat, barley, oats, and dryland pasture.

SAN DIEGO Land that meets all the characteristics of Prime and Statewide, with the exception of irrigation.

Farmlands not covered by the above categories but are of significant economic importance to the county. They have a history of good production for locally adapted crops. The soils are grouped in types that are suited for truck crops (such as tomatoes, strawberries, cucumbers, potatoes, celery, squash, romaine lettuce, and cauliflower) and soils suited for orchard crops (avocados and citrus).

SAN JOAQUIN All farmable land within San Joaquin County not meeting the definitions of "Prime Farmland," "Farmland of Statewide Importance," and "Unique Farmland." This includes land that is or has been used for irrigated pasture, dryland farming, confined livestock or dairy facilities, aquaculture, poultry facilities, and dry grazing. It also includes soils previously designated by soil characteristics as "Prime Farmland," "Farmland of Statewide Importance," and "Unique Farmland" that has since become idle.

SAN LUIS OBISPO Local Importance (L): areas of soils that meet all the characteristics of Prime or Statewide, with the exception of irrigation. Additional farmlands include dryland field crops of wheat, barley, oats, and safflower.

SANTA BARBARA All dryland farming areas and permanent pasture (if the soils were not eligible for either Prime or Statewide). Dryland farming includes various cereal grains (predominantly wheat, barley, and oats), sudan, and many varieties of beans. (Although beans can be high value crops the production areas are usually rotated with grain, hence the decision to include them under Local rather than Unique. Also, bean crop yields are highly influenced by climate, so there can be a wide variance in cash value.)

SANTA CLARA Small orchards and vineyards primarily in the foothill areas. Also land cultivated as dry cropland for grains and hay.
