Premier Ford and those who Assist in decision Making for Ontario.

I wish to express my grave concern with the descions being made which puts our farmland in jeopardy.

I do NOT support urban sprawl, I DO support farmers on their lands continuing to do what they do best... feed cities!

Please resolve the issues youve created regarding housing where farms belong, sooner than later and let these people get back to their land and livestock. Nothing is more stressful than being otherwise detained when the cows need tending to or the wheat needs to be combined.

After recent travel to Scotland, where sheep abound and sprawling 'farms' still exist, I realized how much of our farmland has already been gobbled up for row upon row of cookie cutter town homes or industry. I recall Sunday afternoon drives with family to go out to the country side and marvel at the cows, pigs and other livestock grazing, in vast quantities, in the endless fields. I remember the winds making the planted crops look like a sea of green waves. Now... the farms are small, the quantity of livestock has greatly diminished, I can see houses at the edge of fields where they have no right to be and the crops fields aren't near as vast as they once were~ yet our population grows... how does it make any sense to deplete the farmlands which feed us? This makes absolutely no sense to me.

Please, quickly reconsider your decisions to populate land with people and let the cows and corn flourish.

Timely decisions need to be made in a lawful, organized and succinct way to keep farmers whwrethey belong, let theur children grow and live on the land and continue to feed the rest of us. It's rare that a city dwellers grows up thinkink, 'hey, I want to be a farmer', however, those who do grow up in rural farming area DO grow up thinking, 'Id love to continue in my parents footsteps, build and grow my own family here and fatm!'.
Preserve this! You have the power, SAVE OUR FARMLANDS!
