A county farmland preservation plan establishes trends and resources related to agriculture, lists policies and goals related to farmland protection and identifies lands that will remain in agricultural use for the foreseeable future. Counties with agricultural lands can use a farmland preservation plan to guide conservation of such lands for active use as farms throughout the county.
The planning process is an opportunity for different levels of local government to cooperate and build relationships. A county is encouraged to include local towns, cities and village’s land use plans and engage with local stakeholders to draft the plan. When a county plans for farmland preservation, they are acknowledging that agricultural lands are integral to the future of the county.
.
We are updating this plan in 2026: Lincoln County Farmland Preservation Plan 2016.

The Lincoln County Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plan is a 10-year plan (2027-2036) that ensures county eligibility for annual state money to partially fund county conservation staff and county administered cost-share grants that implement soil and water improvement projects.
The purpose of a county Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plan is to conserve long-term soil productivity, protect the quality of related natural resources, enhance water quality, and focus on severe soil erosion problems.
At the root of the county LWRM plan concept is the cooperation of all agencies and groups within the county that have a role in land and water resource management. This plan focuses on how a county’s Land and Water Conservation Department will work with the other agencies to implement agricultural performance standards (NR 151/ATCP 50), as well as address other local land and water resource management concerns.
Land and Water Resource Management (LWRM) Plans provide counties an opportunity to explain how they will meet the state performance standards and prohibitions (NR 151 and ATCP 50) to reduce runoff and protect water quality, as well as address other local land and water resource management concerns. The LWRM Plan provides the counties with the ability to develop local strategies to address the concerns; budget the limited staff and cost share dollars toward these concerns; provide for integration of programs and funding from all sources; and develop a variety of implementation tools.
