Don't waste any time. Get hogs and fence them in along the road so everyone that goes by will see that you are farming. Then immediately apply for a building permit for a livestock building as close the property lines around your entire place. they don't have to be big or expensive buildings just have to be legal and then built right away. I think a nice three sided loafing shed used seasonally for shelter of pigs, cattle or sheep will keep the residencial housing units back from your property. This stops the developer from placing any housing on his land within X ammount of feet from an existing livestock building. CHECK YOUR ZONING RULES today!

This is my plan, it's working so far. The house to the North of me is going up for sale again soon. We are getting 2-4 piglets in April to raise for the summer. Clearly visiable from the house so the seller can't say they didn't know we are farming. I will keep them fifty feet back from the lot line but I checked with the county and I could put them right up to the property line which is fenced. In 2000, I built a small chicken coop 10' off the West line where I think a different property owner might want to build a house. That forces them to site the future housing 100' feet away acording to the county zoning. I hope to do the same on the South and East lot lines soon. I am thinking cheap three sided shed that doubles as hay storage and housing for my sheep. That makes it an livestock building forcing any new developments to keep back away from my property.

Ask your zoning folks. To get a building permit for a shed on an existing farm is very easy and inexpensive. The new developer will take years to get any of his plans thru the system. In the mean time you can build up your line of defense!
