Our county is unencumbered by a lot of rules. No zoning commission. Sometimes when the weather is very dry, the commissioners will issue a no burn order, but that’s it.
I found an article last week talking about a freedom scale of places to live. Missouri ranked #7, so 6 other states have more freedom according to that. But we are number 1 and 3 IIRC, when it comes to booze and smokes.LOL
Anyway, the big metro areas have lots of danged rules, but the rural areas kinda live and let live.
The Feb to April burn restriction is a state law. We’re pretty unencumbered here where I live otherwise. I like living not “in town.”
We always joke in Iowa that Missouri is the land where you can marry your sister, shoot machine guns off your back porch, and walk buck naked thru town and not get arrested.
Which isn’t true, but Missouri is alot more free than most states. Best part is they have an equipment tax instead of a property tax, which means you can at least live poor and not worry about losing everything. I know it N. Central MO it’s really laid back, very tempting to retire there.
Spring garden is in, other projects now till the summer stuff gets planted in a few weeks. Late spring and cold but not nearly as wet as last year, so far it’s been pretty decent. Stuff is coming up pretty good.
