I think you are going to have to check our local laws and ordinances. Every town, city, county, state (or province) has different laws. What may apply to me on the MN prairie, 20 miles from the nearest town and a mile from the nearest neighbor will not apply to you or someone living in a "rural" area who owns and acre of land and has neighbors' houses within yards of their property line.

But your Dept of Agriculture (or whatever they call it there) can explain it
