In developing and updating its Critical Area program, a local jurisdiction shall follow these policies when addressing agriculture:
A.
Assure that agricultural lands are identified and that programs are established for the Critical Area to maintain, where appropriate, agricultural lands in agricultural use, to the greatest extent possible; and
B.
Recognize that agriculture is a protective land use that should be properly managed so that it minimizes its contribution to pollutant loadings to the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays and their tributaries.
