Agricultural District

Agricultural districts are those open areas of the township where farming, dairying, forestry operations and other such rural-type activities exist and should be preserved or encouraged. Large vacant areas, fallow land and wooded areas may also be included, Although the demand for other uses in these districts may ultimately outweigh their use as zoned, any such zoning changes should be made cautiously with the realization that adequate food supply is essential to the health and welfare of the township, county, state, and nation.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Agriculture
Dairy
Equestrian facility
Greenhouse / nursery
Livestock production
Religious facility
Housing-Group
Housing-Single unit
