(i) The printed name and address of each person owning land proposed for inclusion in the ASA.

(ii) The signature of each person described in subparagraph (i).

(iii) The county tax parcel number or account number identifying the parcel.

(iv) The acreage of the parcel.

(5) Other information as might be reasonably required to establish the boundaries of the proposed ASA, the owners of the parcels of farmland described in the ASA and compliance with the act and this chapter.

(c) ASA proposal form available from the Department. The Department will provide any person or local government unit, upon request, copies of an ASA proposal form created by the Department.
