When the farm was purchased, the county had put a moratorium on development in the area until various matters could be resolved with the state - in short, the state wanted land set aside for agricultural and other strictly rural purposes, as being prime agricultural land.
It seems that this moratorium has been lifted, and that agricultural land has been identified. The farm isn't in that protected designation, but since the farm isn't particularly near a town (a few miles away, in fact) there's no particular reason to believe that the zoning will change any time soon.
Still, one has to watch these things. Most of the agricultural resource land has apparently been chosen in the floodplains of rivers. Presumably it is specifically arable land they wanted to save.
