And now they've changed the Michigan Right to Farm Act to kill off small farms.

we are in the battle of a liftime as well, we have had antique vehicles on our property since the 1960's zoning came in 1980 and the county waits 33 years to try expo facto a ordinance againt unlicensed vehicles, even though its a legal non corming use. check it out, we are trying to prove our use to people who are ignorent of state laws, farm and ranch is excluded, mining and agitation, and antique moter vehicles being 25 years and older and kept as collector items...But the county natrona wyoming will not reconize this exception, we are in district court right now and will have a decision january 3rd 2014. You can follow my case at theamazonjude on utube or casper star tribune by seaching collector car regs, dana and judy jones.

Hey Kaz. Sorry I haven't responded to you yet. Been super busy! We'll catch up soon.

We won! And, for now, the township has backed off and given us a letter of full compliance!
-
Yes, we won! The ruling was given to us last December!
-
Hows the case going? have you won?

I live in NC and where I live is a very rural county, I am surrounded by really large local farms. I grow trees on one tract and I am an avid, year round gardener on the other. Here, our problem is the US Navy trying to take over our farms and homes for an outlying landing field. Try to fight that! Because of the laws of imminent domain , we are essentially at the federal government's mercy. Yeah, I see your frustration, maybe you need a bigger enemy to pull your community together.

I thought America was the "Land of the Free"....this looks to me a lot like Russia used to be. What has happened to democracy? Just read where you were successful when taken to court. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
