About Land Use Around Norwich ....
Chenango County is known for it's rural nature and it's dairy farms, but outside of the river valleys, much of the upland is not used for crop production but instead forages like hay and grazing. While the valleys are quite agricultural, the hills tend to be wooded or grazing lands.
