In order to qualify for State Agriculture Development Committee (SADC) Planning Incentive Grants to support its farmland preservation program, Mercer County prepared, and had approved by the SADC in June 2008, its 2007 Comprehensive Farmland Preservation Plan (FPP).

The original 2007 FPP encompassed data on the land base of agriculture, the agriculture industry, land use planning, the preservation program and its future, economic development, natural resources, and the future of agriculture in Mercer County. It also included maps of the Agriculture Development Area (ADA) and Project Areas.

The Mercer County Agricultural Development Board (MCADB) completed a revised and updated Comprehensive Farmland Preservation Plan in 2020. This 2020 Farm Plan [PDF 3.07mb] can be viewed by clicking here. An updated Farm Plan Map [PDF 4.54mb] can be viewed by clicking here.
