submitted 44 years ago by Pub. L. 97-293 to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 79 words · no verdicts yet
A district can ask that this subchapter's ownership and pricing limits apply to its class I land equivalents. The Secretary decides equivalency by weighing topography, soil, growing season, elevation, water supply, and crop suitability.
If a district* requests it, this subchapter's ownership and pricing limits apply to the land within that district which the Secretary* has classified as having class I productive potential, or the equivalent in a larger amount of less productive land. The Secretary decides the equivalent acreage by weighing all factors that significantly affect productivity — including but not limited to topography, soil, length of growing season, elevation, water supply, and how well the land suits different crops.
Upon the request of any district*, the ownership and pricing limitations imposed by this subchapter shall apply to the irrigable lands classified within such district by the Secretary* as having class I productive potential or the equivalent thereof in larger acreage of less productive potential, as determined by the Secretary, taking into account all factors which significantly affect productivity, including but not limited to topography, soil characteristics, length of growing season, elevation, adequacy of water supply, and crop adaptability.
