 Farmers in the regions affected by the proposals, which include areas in northern B.C. and the Kootenays, say they need to do more than farm on their land to make a living. 
 However, the argument raises red flags for Jill Robbins, a young poultry producer near Aldergrove who believes commercial businesses should operate in industrial zones.
 “Anything other than farming on farmland is a problem,” she said.
