This is an update to the ticked off farmer saga in my town. He has the last farm within village limits where now farming is "illegal." Any old farms are grandfathered in and allowed to operate until activity ceases for 1 year. If a farmer stops for one year - the farm can never operate again. I'm glad I don't live in any villages!
I posted the various signs he's been putting up. This is directly across the street from a Stewarts Shop where police often hang out and 1/4 mile from the Interstate.
This all started when the farmer wanted to run for political office. He lost and told anyone who didn't vote for him - how dumb they are. Then he got in a fight with the local State Environmental Officer. He caught the cop trespassing on his land and threw him off. Later the same cop arrested the farmer for shooting a raccoon "too close to town."
So, here are some of the former photos - and the lasted that showed up this morning.
For context - here a view of Stewarts on one side and his farm on the State Highway - across the road.

And the chronology of signs and note - Mark Vencak is the local New York Environmenatal officer . .
