Three weeks after a state panel voted on new Right to Farm rules, there’s still a lot of confusion about what’s allowed and not allowed for people raising chickens, goats, bees and other livestock in residential areas.
Jamie Clover Adams is the director of the state Department of Agriculture & Rural Development. She sat down with Michigan Public Radio’s Rick Pluta to explain where things stand. Adams says this is not the final word on backyard livestock rules in Michigan – they will be reviewed and very likely updated again in 2015.
