Abstract	Marion County had a 1976 cash receipt from all farm products amounting to $110,429,000. Much of this farm value was produced on the county's 410,350 acres of class I through IV soils. These soils, regardless of productivity, also have potential for a variety of other non-farm uses. It is this conflict (farm versus non-farm) that has led to the development of governmental policies concerning the use of agricultural land in Marion County. Resulting policies include both rural development standards in addition to urban growth delineations. Farm zoning combined with rural development policies have drastically changed the treatment of rural subdivisions (defined as the division of land into four or more lots within a single year) since 1970.
