Abstract
  • The loss of important agricultural land is presently a highly significant resource problem. Urbanization processes, such as subdivision development in urban fringe areas, is a primary factor in converting agricultural land to urban land. The State of Oregon has addressed this issue by requiring all cities and urban counties to establish urban growth boundaries (UGB). The UGB's purpose is to contain urban expansion and preserve agricultural land. Although UGB's have proven effective in containing urban growth, this study found incidents produced by urban land uses to have affected urban fringe agricultural operations. However, average farm size and the amount of income produced by each farm indicated most farms were not commercial operations. Therefore, an adequate buffer may already exist.
