keeping it Ag Land benefits the county more because they get the property tax (70% of revenue) without the responsibility and costs that RA zoning or residential zoning would incur
RA is basically just A with restrictions, and would have the side effect of increased property valuation, such that higher taxes would then pay for all the "responsibility" that people seem to be demanding (roads, emergency response, freedom from roosters).
Of course, this assumes (probably incorrectly) that anyone wants to actually solve the problems created by "faux ag" zoning -- better that people argue about roosters than work to solve real problems, like that whole "one lane in or out" issue.
