That's very helpful information for me. Thank you.
I have read it. I think my future land of this address is Agriculture General (vs agriculture intensive) in this bylaw. I only intend to build greenhouse to grow vegetables, as well as raise chickens on environment friendly approach, by using animal waste as fertilizer, reduce insects with chicken's help, I will rotate land for growing, by no till approach to reduce topsoil erosion, to avoid chemical fertilizers, pesticides and grasscides.
The most of all of my site is to create an Alberta winter greenhouse to grow vegetables year-round, especially in winter, with no artificial heating, but geothermal energy.
I have such dream, which never had been done successfully by human beings so far. I know I very big chance will fail, but I will never regret my devotion to my dream, since failure is part of one's dream.
Please advise me anything, which is very important to me.

Hello, My name is Dylan Wxxx I am interested in your land to raise animals and feed cops. No warehouse, no infrastructure needed, just water and space. Of course barns and sheds are welcome. I plan to raise heritage, forested/ pastured hogs, turkeys and chickens on rotating pasture and feed crops in what I intend to be the best eco and animal friendly farming. The only thing missing is land! Land for rent,/rent to own/ rent with options, whatever you have available, but I’d prefer 10 acres with an agreement and room to grow . It can be a forest it can be pasture or both. I want do not want to be a factory farm, don’t want to warehouse animals, I want happy healthy animals that forage and root around...its farming like the old days and only produce what the land will allow. No warehouse so there is no waste containment needed = no smell = happy neighbours and animals and with regenerative farming practices the land will benefit from the natural nutrient minerals and aeration provided by my hogs, chic
