Michigan Loses ‘Right To Farm’ This Week: A Farewell To Backyard Chickens and Beekeepers
Michigan residents lost their “right to farm” this week thanks to a new ruling by the Michigan Commission of Agriculture and Rural Development. Gail Philburn of the Michigan Sierra Club told Michigan Live, the new changes “effectively remove Right to Farm Act protection for many urban and suburban backyard farmers raising small numbers of animals.” Backyard and urban farming were previously protected by Michigan’s Right to Farm Act. The Commission ruled that the Right to Farm Act protections no longer apply to many homeowners who keep small numbers of livestock.
Kim White, who raises chickens and rabbits, said, “They don’t want us little guys feeding ourselves. They want us to go all to the big farms. They want to do away with small farms and I believe that is what’s motivating it.” The ruling will allow local governments to arbitrarily ban goats, chickens and beehives on any property where there are 13 homes within one eighth mile or a residence within 250 feet of the property, according to Michigan Public Radio. The Right to Farm Act was created in 1981 to protect farmers from the complaints of people from the city who moved to the country and then attempted to make it more urban with anti-farming ordinances. The new changes affect residents of rural Michigan too. It is not simply an urban or suburban concern.

What a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist globalist strategy, goal.
Every citizen there would be wise to run every politico voting for such out of town on a rail with tar & feathers. Or maybe man a mass protest outside their homes with staves & pitchforks.
What lobotomized idiots.
Please don't take any personal offense, as I don't intend the following rant to be directed at you alone.

These are uncertain times. People are looking for information, GOOD information. I think it behooves us FReeQs to try to make sure our info is vetted. If we post an article, or a link to an article, it would really be best if we check the date. This article is 6 years old. Since I live out in the sticks and everyone (almost) has some kind of livestock, it doesn't matter to me if this law is in effect. Before I moved here, I lived in a suburb...and lots of our neighbors had chickens. So, I don't know how this affected them.
My point is this: I'm not a whackadoo. I read most of my news here. Ya'll don't owe me a thing...luckily if I think something looks hinky, I have no problem chasing down the facts. But not everyone does that. Some people just read the headlines or the links and take it all at face value.
I really like to think we're better than fake news.
Do we need a separate thread for speculation/scare the pants off posts? I think we do.
