Presuming you are talking about ag zoning — no. The property with the new home would not qualify….because the home would not “predate the agricultural zoning designation “. It could be used for ag uses only.

I grew up here back when it was dirtroads and nothing but farms. This allows to continue to keep agriculture alive. If you want more than one acre im sure the farmer or land seller would be willing to discuss. But I like that its only a minimum. Im happy with that Minimum.

The seller can sell more than 1 acre if they choose, and the buyer wants more. They just can’t sell less than an acre. @ A Alex

Very disappointed in minimum of one acre.... Thats a postage stamp size lot here in the country. Neighbors have 2-3 acres. We have five. Minimum should have been 2 1/2 acres Live here in Molino….
