pointed out Nancy G les regional planner the lot fall within rural cluster area and the cant is not regarded as a bonaf farmer If someone who has lived on a farm for years and has raised sheep all that time Is not a bonaf farmer I don know what a bonafide farmer Is stated member Dolly Moulden Stella Parton another committee member wondered if the region has trouble seeing a female as a farmer
