Internal feature number.

Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.

Farmed Berry Cane Berry - Presence of managed cane berries (i.e., blackberries/raspberries) or trellising structures that indicate active management

Farmed Berry Strawberry - Presence of strawberries.

Farmed Commercial Cut Flower - Presence of annual or perennial flowers. Flowers interspersed with vegetables will be classified as “Farmed Vegetable”

Farmed Commercial Nursery - Presence of commercial plants to be sold for ornamental, landscape, or garden purposes. Because some nurseries often are all paved or are gravel, we did not always delineate “Farm Road” within a nursery.

Farmed Commercial Tree Farm - Presence of a tree farm (i.e., poplar plantation, Christmas trees). The notes field should include specifics about the tree operation

Farmed Commercial Turfgrass - Presence of sod far (includes fields with sod as well as exposed mineral soil from harvested portions of the farm).

Farmed Vegetable Sweet Corn - Presence of corn stalks that is not associated with any recreational activities (corn maze) on a relatively small field.

Farmed Vegetable Unknown - Farmed Vegetable Unknown

Farmed Vegetable Vineyard - Presence of managed grapevines and/or trellising structures that indicate active management of same.

Unfarmable Forested or Upland - Presence of forest, typically continuous multi-parcel tracts of trees; small, isolated groves not included.

Unfarmable Landscaping - An area surrounding the primary residence that looks like a lawn or manicured space not for agriculture. Does not necessarily need to have ornamental plant species. Includes tennis courts, pools, walkways, driveways and other personal residential recreation.

Unfarmable Marsh or Wetland - Presence of marsh or wetland, etc. No evidence of recent agricultural use and no reasonable options to return sie to production.

Unfarmable Restoration Area - An area intentionally planted for the purpose of enhancement or reinvigoration of forest, wetland, or riparian habitat. Look for newly planted native plants and fast growing trees such as alders as well as other restoration practices such as mulch rings.

Unfarmable Riparian Buffer - An area or strip of brush, forest, tall grass, or other plants used to separate rivers or large streams from agricultural land. Minimum 15ft width to draw a polygon or

Unfarmable Sports or Recreation - An area used for sports or recreation. This includes but is not limited to Soccer, Baseball, Football, and other sports fields as well as misc. Uses such as dirt bike tracks or any dog facilities (kennels, agility courses) are also to be placed in this classification.

Unfarmable Topsoil Production - Presence of topsoil production or composting operation.

Unfarmed Extensive Storage - An area used for storage of multiple derelict machines, boats, trucks, cars, shipping containers, stockpiles, etc. that is not in active agricultural use, often indicated by bushes or tall grasses in addition to being in the same location throughout different years. If it has cement, pavement, or gravel it is not unfarmed category, rather it is a heavy use or landscape area (see Infrastructure, see landscaping).

Unfarmed Idle Cropland - An area previously used for crops that has been unfarmed for at least three years or more.

Unfarmed Idle Invasive - An area unfarmed for at least three years with a strong presence of invasive species.

Unfarmed Idle Livestock - An area with historic livestock use and/or infrastructure that has been unfarmed for three or more years (includes all livestock and equestrian). Often has dilapidated structures, unmanaged grass or invasive, and no sign of livestock or livestock impacts (dung, flattened grass patches, hay/haylige on parcel).

Unfarmed Idle Orchard - An orchard that has not been farmed for at least three years. Trees are consistently unpruned, grass under trees is not mowed during bulk of fruit harvest season.

Unfarmed Idle Unknown - An area unfarmed for three years or more with an unknown crop type or an agricultural use not listed in other Unfarmed Idle categories.

Unfarmed Reed Canary Grass - An area unfarmed for three years or more with a strong presence of Reed Canary Grass.

Unfarmed Seasonal Wet Patch - An area that is unfarmed for three years or more due to a seasonal wet area. Note that the boundaries for most of these wet patches were saved in a separate dataset since they coincide with another use.

Unfarmed Too Wet - An area unfarmed for three years or more consistently too wet to farm.

Unfarmed Unmanaged Grassland - An area that has evidence of inactive farming for three or more years with strong presence of overgrown grass or other plant species.

Land Use Type; based on land use, grouped into 4 types.

Farmed Not Food - Presence and/or evidence of farming activity and that agricultural land is not in food production.

Unfarmable - Land that is unlikely to be farmed.
