2 Objectives What s New Overview/Present How the model works The past Fortran, Lotus, Access, Oracle Future Changes in Rural and Urban VA Questions 2012 Survey Results
3 Agricultural/Hort: 92 counties/cities Forest: 75 counties/cities Open Space: 53 counties/cities
4 What s New? Revised SLEAC Manual FAQ s Rental rate approach (begin 2010)
5 Agricultural and Forestal Districts 2011 General Assembly simplified the process Can be considered an alterative to a jurisdiction-wide ordinance See SLEAC Manual for details
6 Agricultural and Horticultural Estimates
7 Two Approaches 1. Net income Capitalized (Income Approach) 2. Rental rates Capitalized (Rental Rate Approach)
8 Income Approach Use only published secondary sources The Composite Farm The county s composite farm is a typical farm within the county Crop acreage from latest Census of Agriculture current to be published in 2014 Only crops with 1 or more acres in the composite farm are considered. Calculations are: Acres of crop number of farms 1 acre
9 Prince Edward County TY2013 (DY2013 Crop Budgets and DCP Payments) Total Acreage Composite Farm (Acres) Estimated Net Return($/Acre) 1. Number of Farms Corn 1,540 3 $ Alfalfa $ Hay 14, $ Wheat Barley Soybeans Potatoes Cotton Pasture 19, $ Peanuts Tobacco Snap Beans Cucumbers D Pumpkins D Sweet Corn Tomatoes Watermelons D Double-Cropped Total 36, $3.59
10 Prince Edward County TY2013 Capitalization Use value = Net Use Value: $3.59 Capitalization Rates: Net Return Capitalization Rate a) Interest rate component (10 year straight AVG) b) Property tax component (10 year straight AVG) c) Rate without risk (a + b) d) Risk component (0.05 times c) e) Rate with risk (d + c) Unadjusted Use Values: w/out risk with risk = $3.59/ = $3.59/ = $51.26 = $48.82
11 Income Approach Prince Edward County TY2013 Table 1a: Estimated use-values of agricultural land by jurisdiction. Estimates apply to tax-year 2012 Cropland Pastureland Prince Edward I II III IV AVG I-IV V VI VII AVG V- VII AVG I-VII W/Out Risk W/Risk VIII

15 Real Net Farm Income Virginia $/farm $25,000 IPD Index, 2005=100, BEA $20,000 $15,000 $10,000 $5,000 $- Data, Economic Research Service/USDA, years
16 Past Census data farms with sales >$10K Budgets developed for geographic regions Limited number of urban fringe counties Virginia was a rural state Quota crops peanuts and tobacco USDA data, prevalent Data was hand entered Hardcopy publications only
17 Ag Census for 2014 and on Future Non-disclosure creep in urban fringe counties Non-disclosure less that 5 large farms in one jurisdiction, no data VA is now urban state NASS definition of a farm ($1,000 of gross sales), e.g., lifestyle and hobby farmers (where s the profit motive?) H.R. 1638: Census Reform Act of 2013 repeals Ag Census GovTrack.us said, no chance of passage
18 Market information Future Federal and VA cutbacks in funding for NASS and VDACS leading to limited number of reports Council on Food, Agricultural, and Resource Economics (C-FARE) requested info on use of NASS data - life blood of economist Non-disclosure of prices and or yields Direct verse wholesale prices (fruit) Single buyer fruit/vegetables Contract production, e.g., peanuts, tobacco, grapes, fruits, vegetables,
19 Future Funding for program maintenance, e.g., enterprise budgets? Questions on state funding Good now line item in TAX budget Future Secretary of Finance request to GA How to match budget needs with state revenue Composite Index Use-value and Ag and forestal districts Conservation easements
20 Future Conservation easements if Not farmed, not timbered, not open space Then, what is it? Control of land - lease verse own Definition of agriculture Covenants that prohibit farming Cyclical nature of Ag Land owners pleading for farmers to farm my land
