Our kids are facing a number of challenges trying to take over the farms that are passed down to the them - housing shouldnt be one of them. Without allowing for ANY severances, we are not giving our kids the chance to build houses and raise families on the farm. Theyre either stuck living with their parents (which no one needs) or forced to move and live elsewhere which if you're a farmer you know does not work. Farmers need to live on their farms. Period.
By allowing farms to sever you're giving them a chance at all that. The impact doesn't have to be huge. Severing a small parcel off of a large farm has very little effect on the operation but can make a huge change to someone who needs a place to live.
Do the right thing. Allow for us to sever at least 1 property for the purpose of building. Not selling to developers, building for the next generartion of ontario farmers to live on.
Thx
