How are “agricultural” lands defined by the Forest Service with respect to the Skagit System?
The current definition comes from Washington State law and has been incorporated into county code. Agricultural land— RCW 36.70A.030 (2) “Agricultural land” means land primarily devoted to the commercial production of horticultural, viticultural, floricultural, dairy, apiary, vegetable, or animal products or of berries, grain, hay, straw, turf, seed, Christmas trees not subject to the excise tax imposed by *RCW 84.33.100 through 84.33.140, finfish in upland hatcheries, or livestock, and that has long-term commercial significance for agricultural production.
