agricultural use

Land for growing

Agricultural use refers to land, water, equipment, or resources employed for farming purposes—raising crops, livestock, or other food production.

The term appears frequently in legal and regulatory contexts: zoning laws distinguish agricultural use from residential or commercial use, and tax codes may offer benefits for land maintained in agricultural use.

The property is classified for agricultural use only.
