The Southlands Plan is Good For Farming “Sean’s Plan is the BEST way to farm this land – We know from 70 years of our family’s blood, sweat and tears.”
JACK BATES
“I think the Southlands Proposal is a ‘No Brainer’ and a huge win for farming and the residents of Delta.”
“People need to understand the Southlands Plan does not hurt farmland with housing, rather this plan majorly improves the ability to farm the Southlands in the future. We know this for a fact as we have been farming on the Southlands for over 15 years.”
