when you have nothing and goto any municiplaity they think it'll cost them money and they say no. you have to do it first. seen it 100X where i grew up and the zoning of the land says i can do all that as it's zonded general purpose agricultural so i can put in roads and raise land and such without going to the municipality for permission

Nice one - and profitable!!!
I got one property which is.. 80% re-zoned now (made up of five farms - four now rezoned) and a very nice judge dealing with it. As a matter of course, there were the standard objection/appeal processes (they even appeal without having a clue as to the property and these are crushed in court). The only remaining bit to do now is a new map segment which was a query over a public road - but the appeals have been finished and judge has agreed to sign off the last 20% when he's presented with the new map. This has taken about 2 years so far, but should be finished in the next three months or so.
You are correct - the value on rezoning is very substantial and well worth the effort, time and money staying with it - even if it took 10 years.
