Likelihood of Best and Most Versatile (BMV) Agricultural Land - Strategic scale map North West Region (ALC014)

This map forms part of a series at 1:250 000 scale predicting the likelihood of best and most versatile (BMV) agricultural land (Agricultural Land Classification Grades 1, 2 and 3a). The predictions use soil associations which are the mapping unit of the published 1:250 000 scale national soil map as the main basis of the assessment. The map is intended for strategic planning purposes and is not suitable for the definitive classification of any local area or site. Three categories (high, moderate, low) illustrate the likely occurrence of BMV agricultural land. Further information about the mapping is contained in an explanatory note “Explanatory note for Likelihood of Best and Most Versatile (BMV) Agricultural Land – Strategic scale maps”
