Collapse ▲Nash County Voluntary Agricultural District Farms
Nash County is home to more than 258 Agricultural Districts with 62 Enhanced Districts and 196 Traditional Districts totaling 9,135 acres enrolled in the program.
Landowners are encouraged to register their land as a Voluntary Agricultural District. Land must remain for use of agriculture, horticulture or forestry for a minimum of 10 years. Agriculture districts are helpful to farmers and agriculture commodities to continue agricultural practices on the land.
How to enroll:
If you are a landowner in Nash County and wish to apply for the Voluntary Agricultural District program pick up an application from the Cooperative Extension Office located in the Nash County Agriculture Center in Nashville.
Enhanced VS. Traditional:
There are two opportunities within the VAD program. Both operate on a ten year term.
Enhanced Agriculture Districts ensures that your land remains in agricultural use for at least 10 years once enrolled in the program. Enhanced Districts are filled within the Nash County Register of Deeds office.
Traditional Agriculture Districts can be removed at any time or subdivided for other opportunities. However, we hope you will choose to keep your land in agricultural use.
Signage:
Voluntary Agriculture District Farm signs are available for purchase once the Agriculture District has been established (see image below). Signs are 24″ x 18″ double-sided, weather treated and reflective coated. Signs may be displayed on the property to promote the program.
View the map:
