There already is a Ontario…

There already is a Ontario Farmland trust where farm land is donated to stay as farmland forever. So far they have protected over 2500 acres of farmland from urban sprawl forever. So why are you expropriating farm land via mapping as farmland through OMAFRA when there is already volunteer programs in place such as Farmland trust. You are assuming i want my farm preserved as farmland forever. I do not. Because i am in the NEC plan i can not participate in OFDUs without lots of Red Tape if at all. You have this as a proposal but the Prime Ag designation is already written in as a layer without notification. Due to where my farm is why would i want my farm protected. There is no advantage as it will limit what i can or can not do with my farm . This designation devalues my investment. The law protects land rights and you are not protecting my rights as a land owner. This is illegal what you are proposing and if goes through will result in nothing but bad blood with the PC govt and farm owners when they find out what you have done and result in court battles. As it is we have conservation, NEC, the municipality now OMAFRA constraining us. What were you thinking when you came up with PRIME AG MAP DESIGNATIONS?
