This conversion was to be done within a certain proximity to metropolitan cities that maintain existing farming that would fall threat to residential intrusion. [9] Outside of metropolitan areas, there was a push to adopt agricultural zoning for farmland in rural areas.

These east–west lines halfway between baselines are called "correction lines". [10]
