jdemaris said: (quoted from post at 16:04:37 03/07/15) Last I checked, every town in the entire state of
New York is required to have an "animal damage
assessor." It is a requirement of New York
Agriculture and Markets. That being said, many town
officials - if you ask about it -won't have any idea
what you're talking about. None of the officials in
my town did until I forced the issue.
There are lots of things required by law that don't happen. Ag and Markets is one of the most ignored and contradicted sections of law in NYS. Every town is supposed to have a "Fence Walker" too. Not a one does, haven't since the 50's in this area. What I have seen happen is a local vet gets tasked with the job of your "Animal Damage Assessor". But it's not like it's a full time position. Ag and Markets is so far down on the hierarchy of law listing that it's not even taught to police officers anymore outside of a couple of specific sections. I had one of the last Ag and Markets references around and the contradictions and impossible positions it presented were staggering. So I wouldn't get to dependent on the Ag and Markets Laws being followed. For instance-The Ag and Markets says a farmer can shoot a dog running his livestock. There's another law that says no dog may be destroyed by gun shot, and yet the SP still carry a form specifically so an owner of a car struck animal can sign off and give permission for a cop to shoot a car struck dog, cat, horse,etc. Contradictory? Yup. Never, ever try to apply common sense to the law. The two are mutually exclusive of the other.
I've learned a lot since getting elected. One of the biggest things is that you simply can not make every happy. The other is that just because there is a law or requirement in place, doesn't mean anyone actually expects it to be followed! Adultery is still illegal under the NYS Penal Law. When do you suppose the last time that was enforced was?

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
