Agriculture Security Areas are a tool for protecting our farms and farmland from of non-agriculture uses. To establish an ASA, a petition is submitted to the township supervisors by the farmers. These security areas are re-evaluated every seven years; however, new parcels of farmland may be added to an established ASA at any time. A combined minimum of 250 acres is required for the establishment of an ASA.<\/span><\/p> <\/span><\/p> An ASA may include non-adjacent farmland parcels of at least 10 acres or be able to produce $2,000 annually from the sale of agricultural products.<\/span><\/p> <\/span><\/p> Participants receive special consideration regarding:<\/span><\/p> Protection from local ordinances and nuisance lawsuits affecting normal farming activities.<\/span><\/p><\/li> Review of farmland condemnation by state and local government agencies.<\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul> <\/span><\/p> An ASA qualifies land for consideration under the farmland preservation program at the owner's request if the ASA has at least 500 acres enrolled.<\/span><\/p><\/div>",
