Research notes
Strong agricultural-protection regime; common friction point for rural-edge residential subdivisions, urban-fringe annexations, and corporate animal-feeding operations. Distinct from formal agricultural districts (which OK does not have in a Tennessee-style petition framework). Carry per-county: `right_to_farm_protected_uses_count` flag (advisory).
