Small Farms, Ranchettes, and Country Estates Best Management Practices (BMPs) Introduction The primary focus of this brochure is to address the expansion of Small Farms, Ranchettes, and Country Estates in rural areas by providing relevant information that facilitates the implementation of Best Management Practices (BMPs). Due to growth, the rural landscape of Indian River County is undergoing significant changes which can have an impact on existing agricultural operations and the environment. These changes and impacts on the environment can be minimal if appropriate Best Management Practices or BMPs are properly planned and implemented. The information offered through this brochure can assist the landowner to make good, logical decisions based on the latest science-based BMPs to pursue their rural lifestyle without creating adverse impacts. Many of the parcels currently being developed are on land that once was in citrus production for many years. Other properties are on ranch land, which as a pasture is nearer to its former natural state. Depending on the intended land use, the new owner of the property will need to understand the characteristics of their land and soil in order to make wise decisions about the development and eventual impact of their actions. Best Management Practices are implemented by landowners on a voluntary basis and can save valuable resources while protecting our surrounding environment. Appropriate BMPs implemented are based on the particular intended land use as well as the specific nature of the location, but it is always the landowner s responsibility to make the best decisions that will enhance their property while protecting the environment and the sustainability of their operation. It is our hope that this brochure will provide the best information possible for the landowner to make these important decisions for their land.
