VICTOR PIRRUNG AND SON, Sale-Managers— Auctioneers Wayland, New York 716-728-2520. 11:00 A.M If you’d sit down with a pile of newspapers from around the country and sift through, looking at land issues, you’d probably be amazed at how widespread some of the “local” issues are. An Ohioan would find strip mining isn’t just a local situation .. residents of New Jersey would realize wetlands development was far more ex tensive in other parts of the country . .. and we’d all realize that the demand for recreation land affects just about everyone. ERS focused on some of these current rural'land problems in a recent study, providing per spective on a lot of issues in the news. Let’s look at four such issues: competing uses for rural land near cities; agricultural development of wetlands and woodlands; energy demands affecting rural land use; and the impact of outdoor recreation growth on rural lands. Rural Land Near Cities. Probably the most common news story on land issues gets down to ■the competing uses for rural land near cities And there’s a sur prising amount of rural land in and around cities The 1970 Census shows that 70 percent of the population lives in what are called Standard Lunch ARBAHDALE FARMS COMPLETE DISPERSAL ALFRED R.

N.Y. 716-494-1880 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, March 24,1973 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA’s) An SMS A consists of an entire area in or around a city or community of 50,000 or more people and where activities form an integrated economic and social system All told the SMSA’s in 1970 encompassed about 13 percent of the total area of the 48 contiguous States—or about 253 million acres However only about 10 percent of the SMSA land area was ac tually in urban uses in 1970. Most of the land is still in rural type uses Much of it, though, is not readily accessible to many urban residents Land uses m the SMSA’s varied widely by region m 1970 In the Appalachian. Southeast, and Delta States, more than half of the nonurban SMSA land was wooded, and nearly half in the Northeast In the Lake and Pacific States, more than a third of the entire SMSA acreage was woodland in the 1970 Census. In the Northern Plains and the Corn Belt, more than half of the land in the SMSA’s was cropland, and in the Lake States, more than a third Farm production area. Agriculturally, the SMSA’s play an important role About 14 percent of the Nation’s harvested cropland and 21 percent of all irrigated acreage is in SMSA’s. All of the major U S crops, measured in terms of total value in SMSA’s In the mid-1960’s the SMSA’s produced about 16 percent of our wheat, 17 percent of our corn, about 60 percent of the vegetables sold, and 43 percent of the fruits and nuts. Fruit and vegetable production tends to remain concentrated in urban areas even as cities ex pand Farmers usually just move a little farther out But in the case of corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, tobacco, and hay, the relation ship is largely competitive. These generally are produced in areas where soils and climate are most favorable, and where markets and transportation combine with production conditions to give them an economic advantage. As land producing these crops becomes urbanized, adjustments are made nationwide. Wetlands Development. Wetlands—areas with poor drainage or frequent overflow from flooding streams— comprise a large land acreage in the U.S. They take up about 265 (Continued On Page 48) 47
