A new report from the Indiana State Department of Agriculture shows that the state lost an estimated 350,000 acres of farmland over a 12-year period.
The Indiana General Assembly passed House Enrolled Act 1557 last year, tasking the ISDA to estimate the amount of farmland lost—as well as the cause of it—from 2010 to 2022.
“As a starting point, if you want to do something about it, you first have to know what reality is,” ISDA Director Don Lamb said. “So that was what the goal of this this was—to really come up with the reality of what the lost farmland has been.”
