Hodgins can't have it both ways on the Southlands

So even though snow geese are protected by the Migratory Bird Act, farm owners have the right to use hunters to protect their land under the province's Right to Farm Act.

Well, this land isn't being farmed as we have been told it is no longer viable farmland, which is why it is being rezoned.

In my opinion, hunting shouldn't be taking place. Hodgins just wants it both ways to suit his purpose, so I would like to know, is it farmland or not?
