Desoto County, Florida
DeSoto County is inland southwest Florida on the Peace River, centred on Arcadia and surrounded by cattle ranch, citrus and row-crop land. It is one of the state's most agricultural counties, and its development question is conversion: large single-owner ranch holdings sit directly in the path of growth spreading inland from Sarasota and Charlotte counties, so parcel ownership and future land use matter more here than existing zoning.
