Sullivan ag district loses 2,000 acres SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY—While 2,000 acres will be removed from one of Sullivan County’s agricultural districts, Joe Walsh, director of the county’s agricultural board, described the net change as “pretty normal.” Requests for removing land from New York State Agricultural District 1 came mainly from landowners planning to develop their properties, Walsh said. In other cases, the board found that certain farms were no longer agriculturally viable. In the Town of Bethel, the Gerry Foundation removed about 150 acres, land on which the foundation is currently building the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
