Proposed U.S Department of Agriculture rules that would limit the size of private forest land qualifying for certain federal programs would devastate the state s forest, recreation and conservation economy, Maine s congressional delegation says.

That threshold would exclude a variety of Maine landowners that contribute to the economy and provide logging jobs, the delegation said in a letter this week to the USDA.
