The general assembly finds: (1) That agricultural operations are valuable to the state’s economy and the general welfare of the state’s people; (2) That agricultural operations are adversely affected by the random encroachment of urban land uses throughout rural areas of the state; (3) That, as one result of this random encroachment, conflicts have arisen between traditional agricultural land uses and urban land uses; and (4) That conflicts between agricultural and urban land uses threaten to force the abandonment of agricultural operations and the conversion of agricultural resources to non-agricultural land uses, whereby these resources are permanently lost to the economy and the human and physical environments of the state.
