§ 5.9. A-F, General agriculture-forestry district.  


Latest version.
  • District Intent. To provide land for the production of agricultural products such as field crops, livestock, poultry and other conventional agricultural and forestry pursuits. This district is also created to assist in the conservation of natural resources by encouraging practices which will conserve soil and water resources.
