Agricultural Zoning Protection
Walker County's A-1 Agricultural District covers croplands, pastures, feedlots and accessory farm buildings, plus commercial livestock operations on 10 acres or more. Section 22-184 backs the zoning up with a 400-foot buffer around feedlot, poultry, hog and dairy operations, and exempts the farm owner, operator and employee housing from that setback.
