Don't support this short sighted bill. With the phrase "not for commerical use" -- does this preclude the farmer that grows crops on 1000s of acres on the farm on which he resides from selling his crops?

Of course not. Those farms are on land zoned for agricultural use.

This bill is intended to prevent cities/towns/counties from making laws that prevent homeowners from keeping chickens or rabbits, or otherwise growing food for themselves.
