[CHICKENS-101] Michigan loses farming

Wait a second CT, this was not done by the Governor but by an
unappointed bureaucrat.




Michigan residents lost their "right to farm" this week thanks to a new
ruling by the Michigan Commission of Agriculture and Rural Development.
*Gail Philburn of the Michigan Sierra Clu*b told Michigan Live, the new
changes "effectively remove Right to Farm Act protection for many urban
and suburban backyard farmers raising small numbers of animals."
Backyard and urban farming were previously protected by Michigan's Right
to Farm Act. *T**he Commissio**n ruled that the Right to Farm Act
protections no longer apply to many homeowners who keep small numbers of
livestock.*
