I must admit - I'm amazed at some of the shallow-minded people on this forum -considering it's focus is old farm tractors. I'm also constantly amazed at the reading-comp deficits here with a select few.
I don't agree. Friend of mine ran that farm his entire adult life and never had any noteworthy issues in regard to farming. It IS legal as long as it's a continued use. I can't say why the new guy bought the place. He already has (or had) a farm outside of town. Whatever - I don't see his motives as an issue. He bought a legal operating farm - to continue to use - legally. Farming is his choice and he proceeded within the law.
We are not in an urban area. This area is near as rural as it gets in New York - not counting the center of the Adirondack Park forest.
As far as I know - the specific legal issues here have nothing to do with farming. I told the story several times already. Yes there are many city-type people moving in that look down on anyone with an old rusty car or truck, or shoddy clothes, etc. Same with noisy slow-moving tractors, cows that cross the road and leave a trail, manure spreaders, etc. Too bad. It's legal and this isn't head-quarters for LL Bean.
I'll say it one more time. The issue as far as I know - was an environmental officer sneaking on to the farm without asking permission first. When the farmer got ticked off and threw him off - seems a feud began. Later the same officer arrested him for a gun-use violation - not farming. That involved the farmer shooting a rabid raccoon with a 22 rifle in his barn which is less then 500 feet from the road. No farm needed to commit that act.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review - by Staff. When we finally checked out the 3000 PSI North Star, the whole story chaned. This unit was equipped with an 11 HP Honda engine with fuel shutoff, adjustable flow and optional syphon degreaser dispenser. It didn't have a pressure release or electric start to facilitate easy starting but according to the instructions, simply pulling on the trigger while cranking was sufficient. This method of starting proved more than adequate and kept the cost down on the unit. It had all the important
