To the sometimes prickly issue of housing encroaching on farm country. We've all heard about diminishing country towns but what about the reverse situations? - when the town gets bigger and the only land available for expansion is used for farming? When the urban sprawl meets farming country, should primary producers be forced to accommodate the newcomers by changing the way they farm? Or should those who choose to live in certain areas, have to put up what was there first? It can be a very smelly question. Opinions vary on what, if any, compromises should be made.
