I have 65 acres and 4000 feet road frontage of marginal, class 5, farmland(scrub). I have spent thousands trying to grow hay with no success. Simcoe County classified this as "Greenland", though it is useless for agriculture.

I am very concerned about the direction in this PPS. The measures outlined are not required in order to meet the need for more affordable housing, but will create other problems.
