    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    I have no idea. But interesting tid bit... My MDA man told me that originally the RTFA concerning chickens was for protecting 5000 or more on one farm. That they really didnt think that small flocks were such a concern, but that is one reason the Act has been added on to several times over the...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    Quote: I talked with my attorney today. He said that your deed should not matter. You HAVE to be inspected and be found in compliance with GAAMP. If you want my attorneys number I can get that to you. The Attorney thinks we are going to win. He mentioned the Greenhouse case too. He also said...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    I agree. We have found several cases where RTFA won over ordinances. But then we found a Mi Supreme Court Case that didnt. The Court ruled in favor of the City of Troy over a Greenhouse. I am hopeful...but still worried. This process has consumed our lives.

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    Deed restricting a race of people is TOTALLY different than restricting Agricultural. Seriously really now...That is against every law in the nation I would think. From Federal down to townships. I am not saying that its right to deed restict anything expecially Agricultural I am just relaying...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    Quote: Bay City allows horses too ... in city limits I wonder why zoning approves horses but not chickens. A half-dozen chickens does not produce a fraction of the smell and manure that a horse does. Also, having bales of hay around to feed a horse will attract A LOT of rodents who will turn...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    Quote: The State of Michigan has deemed us a poultry facility. We have 2/3 acre. We're still calling ourselves Balwinski Farms. We meet with the lawyer again Monday. But I do know that he asked to see what is written on the deed. It sounds as though if your deed prohibits Agriculture or in...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    Quote: I looked up your municipal code and zoning regs and the laws are poorly written. Nonetheless, based on the code you can only keep 3 dogs and ferrets. No other animals are allowed unless you are a farm (even cats). However, you could argue that they use the word 'animal' to describe...

    Quote: You are so lucky. And if we can organize it I would love to march on Lansing. All of us with our chicken signs. Now if we can just get others that arent having this problem to understand and be a voice too. I totally understand about the rights thing. Preaching to the choir sister. It...

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    One more thought. they are trying to pull the permit crap with us to. Only in our township their own ordinance says that you do NOT need a permit if the building is 100 square feet. Our is 8x8 64 square feet. Check out your ordinace there may be a loop hole too.

    Quote: I just checked and Arizona has a right to farm Act as well. My understanding is every state in the union does. (could be wrong) If you are having problems with your city read your laws. If I can help research let me know. Good luck

    Michigan Right to Farm Law, what does it mean?

    I suppose in theory you are right, maybe. All I know is what MDA told me. That is GAAMP has no rules about setback on property. As far as they are concerned you can keep goats in the front yard as long as you are following GAAMP. With that said I do understand for appereance sake why they would...
