Research notes

ETJ narrowing, enabling not mandatory — cities 'may' exempt farm buildings from ETJ zoning. Applies to first-class, second-class, and villages; does not reach metropolitan-class (Omaha) or primary-class (Lincoln) ETJ. Cabins municipal ETJ authority over an agricultural use category. Track in city records as an option each covered city may or may not have exercised.
