BY SCOTT WALTMAN Special to the Farm Forum Local county commissioners are backing a change to the state's method of assessing some grassland used for agricultural purposes. The James River Valley Commissioners Association has approved forwarding what it calls the Grass is Grass Resolution to the state association of county commissioners.

The state association meets for its annual convention in Pierre in September.
