In such a case, it may be more desirable to create several smaller districts on which easement applications could be made separately. If you have operations on your farm that may be considered commercial and not agricultural, you may wish to exclude the acreage devoted to that operation from the district. Even though the law allows you to create lots for yourself and your children, the lots cannot exceed one acre each. If your county will not allow one acre lots, you may wish to exclude lot acreage from the district. Your local program administrator can advise you on potential problems with district or lot size.
Some counties have criteria which prohibits exclusion of acreage.
