10-6-33.2. Determination of capacity to produce agricultural products--Sources of information. The capacity of agricultural land to produce agricultural products shall be based on average yields under natural conditions for land producing crops or plants and on the average acres per animal unit for grazing land. The average shall affect each operating unit and shall be based on the ten-year period immediately preceding the tax year in issue. In determining the capacity to produce, the county director of equalization and the county board of equalization shall consider yields, the extent to which the land is able to be tilled or is nontillable based upon soil type, terrain, topographical, and surface conditions, and animal unit carrying capacity, as determined by the natural resources conservation service, farm credit services of America, farm service agency, the extension service, and private lending agencies dealing with land production capacities.
