Miller Fallowing Program Update The Agricultural Preserve Committee approved significant changes to the Miller fallowing program that will benefit growers. The look-back period has been extended from 2 to 5 years for previously irrigated land, and future deadlines for bringing fallowed land back into production have been eliminated. The county will implement a simple self-reporting system where landowners under the Williamson Act can document fallowed acreage annually without complex verification requirements. This change addresses concerns that the previous structure would force growers to irrigate when economically or water-wise it didn't make sense.
