Stewart The Planning Board opened its meeting by discussing definition changes - between light assembly and manufacturing. This was brought up because of minutes from Town Board concerning Ithaca Intersystems and if they were manufacturers or assemblers, light assembly, of their micro - computers. Also discussed was Ludgate's farm stand which has expanded to a store rather than stand, selling their own farm products. The board will do some thinking on their own and at December meeting will discuss any decisions about definition changes. Chairwoman Caldwell was asked by Monica Crispen, Ag Extension Agent for the County and on review committee for Ag District, to get some figures on estimate of how land is going in or out of ag production in a given area and what trend is.
