Looks like you have a legal battle on your hands.

OK, law was passed in 2015. What has happened in the intervening 2 1/2 years? Any lawsuits challenging the law? Why post this today?

Leftists hate private property. They can’t seize it just yet, so they seize control over its use while you keep the tax payments, the insurance, the upkeep and the responsibility.

The laws in many states, with slippery lawyers in charge, have demanded de facto eminent domain actions - takings of private property for public use - without (a) taking the property but in affect taking control of the property, while making permanent and ongoing cost-bearing demands on the property owner, and (b) all without even a thought to just compensation, (c) while the property owner must still pay taxes on land they no longer can use for themselves or control the use of.

Fill in the ditches and farm over them.

The fines begin this year for noncompliance. My efforts until now have been directed at encouraging politicians into action to correct or remove this law. My efforts have been in vain. I am now trying to influence public opinion.

I don’t think the county will allow me to fill in a road ditch.

There is an intermittent stream that runs on the next property. It runs March - December, 6 inches wide and one inch deep. Obama’s waterways of the US (WOUS) executive theft made it into a “navigable waterway.” So glad Trump dumped this land grab down the toilet.

I used to live just north of the twin city suburbs, we left when they began their attack on property rights with higher taxes and control of our garden as well as how we park our vehicles in the driveway. It was ridiculous. When Dayton stated that if you don’t like the taxes and government in MN , leave. We packed up and left. We now live in one of the most free states and love it.

I’m pretty sure I saw a snail darter in that stream. Plus, I think I saw a Piping plover nest.

These are the same people that go around with rulers measuring people’s grass hoping to fine them.

Despite a GOP majority in the MN Legislature, they might as well be Democrats. I see nothing but idiocy coming from our Legislature, more taxes, worthless green energy mandates that are raising our electric rates and doing nothing to fix a $40 million fiasco with the vehicle registration system.

Plant some endangered species there, take pictures and let the authorities know you won’t violate federal law to disturb the site.

The Feds CONTROL over 87% of the land in Nevada.

They stupid media keeps saying “The Feds OWN the land”, etc.

They DO NOT Own the land. IF they OWNED the land, they would be paying property taxes just like the rest of us who OWN the land.

These cutsie-pie readers of trash news don’t have a brain to share between all of them.

The family cabin is in northern Minnesota - Aitken County. Lots of time spent hunting the flat marshes hopping between islands of trees (rabbit, grouse, and sometimes a woodcock. Never saw a pheasant that far north.) Even with the ditches I think the only thing the few farms there grew were potatoes.

So with the existing berm - I’m guessing that it isn’t planted or anything - it just has the normal brush and weeds and such that will grow there? Although I’m guessing that this new “buffer” extends far beyond the berm into your existing fields. Do you know why the increase of phosphates in the water due to the buffers? I suppose to fertilize the new “wild” growth that has been planted so close to the ditch?

Years ago I was at a relative’s ranch in Oregon. The government was re-doing a creek, adding in bends and stumps and large rocks for increased trout habitat. The relative explained that years ago that was how the creek used to be. But, the government determined that the trout needed to get to their habitat without all of those obstructions, so cleared the creek of boulders and stumps and straightened it out. And they also required the ranchers to fence off the creek where they had cattle so they wouldn’t get into the creek. (BLM land).

Turns out that the cattle also did their part in managing the creek habitat - tromping around in it caused muddy spots in some areas, but in general released the silt from the gravel beds, making the gravel beds better spawning areas for the trout!

Years ago I thought that the government provided incentives to the farmers to leave buffers and/or leave the edges of their crops unharvested as food and shelter for the various animals. I guess they figure if they can make a law forcing one to do that, that is easier. And of course it is favored by the majority of voters in Minnesota (city dwellers).

Each Govt Agency is a separate Legislative, Judicial & Executive nation.

Like Nevada, they will fine you until you sell cheap and leave. The hidden China Communist buyer has another purpose for the land like solar, wind or other.
