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 - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
