Preserving farmland is not only vital for farmers, and all consumers, but is an integral part of the lifestyle for other rural residents. As a country dweller myself, I am now being faced with an out-of-county farmer who has purchased 95 acres of prime agricultural land adjacent to me, tile drained the majority of it two years ago but has decided it is more lucrative to turn it into a < 60 home subdivision. This individual is requesting rezoning of the land and expansion of the town (hamlet’s) limits to include this entire property and the county is already stressing “Ford’s policy” to support it. There are so many vacant lots, unused buildings in cities that should be re-purposed. You cannot regain agricultural land- you can reuse already developed land!!
