His neighbors, who had businesses and homes near the property, objected and prevented him from getting his farm rezoned from agricultural to residential. <br /><br />So he went full agricultural and made the front 10 acres or so of his property a free range hog farm. You can imagine the neighbor's consternation when all the authorities did was shrug and say that it an agricultural pursuit.<br /><br />I may or may not have offered to buy him a beer.DaddyBearhttp://daddybearsden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-86777576029887584652015-04-16T12:47:31.738-05:002015-04-16T12:47:31.738-05:00>whose property is it, anyway?
