The OFA and our local Federation of Agriculture have expressed many concerns and I would like to repeat some key points.
- Higher density development is needed to limit agricultural land loss and take full advantage of existing infrastructure.
- The current policy for MDS should be maintained so that adequate separation distances to new residential units will be maintained and livestock farming will have room to grow for our increasing population.
- We are strongly opposed to allowing additional severances on farm parcels. The proposed 3 severances per farm parcel would be a major disaster in the making for the total agri-food system over time. Too much land would be lost in the province and the cost of land for farming would shoot upwards based on the new severance potential, making it impossible for farming without marketing the severances.
