    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    Wingless, When I proposed a pro poultry ordinance to the village council 4 months ago it was sent to the planning commision where they voted 4 - 3 in favor of a pro poultry ordinance. Then the council voted it down 4 - 3 using comments like; we don't have room, Chickens stink and my favorite...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    I was told once that everyone has the right to speak in front of the senate or congress? I was told that you get 10 - 15 min to speak your mind and it goes on record. Do any of you know if this is true and can it be done at all levels and the ag department meetings? Could we set up a town...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    I may go under the radar? I may give up on this for now? For me, and I've been told it's silly, I had this idea of doing something grand. Raising chicks (at first. From eggs later) into egg laying, meat producing garden loving pooping chickens with my boys. I wanted to watch them learn (even...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    Good thinking. Bad Idea. I had another idea. I could borrow mature chickens from my brothers flock and have laying hens on site with eggs for sale. I was also thinking outside the box and selling small quantities of composted chicken and rabbit manure (thats 2 ag products). The...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    St.Charles Just voted down my petition to raise Chickens inside the village. Three months of facts, laws and positive pro chicken documentation and only 2 yes votes. The village lawyer sent in a letter stating the RTFA does not apply to me. I brought a copy of Papadelis vs Troy and Papish vs...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    One of the comment brought up at our meeting in St.C was that the local zoning officer for the surrounding counties had said "No one is passing these ordinances. In fact due to all the problems (from chickens) most towns are moving in the other direction". I asked for proof and a list of...

    Well I went to the village meeting again last night. It turns out that the councel had sent my request to the planning committee. They had 4 - 3 in favor and sent it back to the councel where we talked (debated) the topic again. For the most part the council is being open minded and at...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    I just talked with Kristin Esch with the Michigan Dept of Agriculture. She was very nice and plesant to talk to. I was told that if I am zoned for residential, the MRTFA does not supercede local ordinances in all cases. If I want to raise chickens and rabbits for fun, food or profit, i may...
