Alaska's current land-use planning is characterized by a particular void
in providing for future agricultural development. One reason for this void in
planning has been a profound lack in identification of production
possibilities in most areas of the state. While the report, ALASKA'S
AGRICULTURAL POTENTIAL (4), generally identified some 16 million
acres suitable for tillage, and millions of acres suitable for livestock grazing,
it did not provide other than a cursory review of product types which might
be grown in Alaska. Further, it did not identify probable locations where
particular crops and livestock would be produced, nor possible scope and
magnitude of such industry development
