Uncontrolled severances very negatively effect the ability for livestock farming due both the MDS requirements (barns are not able to be built) and rural non-farm related residents out voting farmers wrt normal farming practices.

30 years ago, the neighbour on the severed lot on my farm complained to the Township about market gardening beside his lot. The Township said that he had no case but we still relocated that operation to avoid conflict.

Pennsylvania allowed development anywhere 50 years ago and within a generation there were very few livestock operations left where housing had been built.

It saddens me to drive through rural US and see the empty and sad communities. We do not want that here.
