Sure they can. Right-to-farm laws do not have jurisdiction over town land-use regs. Also, right to farm laws only apply to recognized farmers. Not everyday people who want to start farming in an area where is not an allowed use. It is NOT a right to farm anywhere anybody wants. It is MORE a right of an existing farmer to keep on farming. And, these laws differ throughout the country. We have "right to farm laws" here in central New York also. I live in a dairy farming area. That being said, nobody who lives within the borders of the "hamlet" of our town is allowed to have any farm animals, unless they did so continuously before the laws were put in place. And, there have been many fights because of it. There are still two operating dairy farms within the hamlet borders. But, they are grandfathered in. That means if any one of those farms - stops farming for 12 months - they lose the right to farm forever.
I've looked at many rural properties in Michigan that did not allow farm animals. Last one I backed out of buying was just outside of Alpena, in Alpena County. Township of Maple Ridge.
In regard to the "no polebarn" laws , for the most part, they seem rediculous to me. If I was to buy rural land to build my own house on - the first thing I'd need would be a barn to park my equipment and tools in - to keep out of the weather. Not everybody hires contractors to build. Some of us still do our own work, do so slowly, and need a place to keep equipment while doing so.

In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
