Stewarts gets their milk from 39 local farms. I'm surprised the village does not have any ordinances regarding signage.

If (and I could do the same here as it's on a hill and visible to the state road) or on our lot next to the road, the town code would probably prohibit it, you can't have a business sign in the residential section, and I live in the center of town which is except our place A42 Ag zoned, yet there are 4 legit business's with signage within 1/2 mile of each other and me, one is adjacent to our lot but no signage to comply, almost 2 dozen work vans, town does not like when you bring that up at all, really ironic the cronyism, town supervisor is co owner with his brother of one of the largest dairies still in operation in this town and or county, know them well. I never really figured out why those other business's that are in former residential homes can exist,the section is not zoned commercial. I'd probably do the same as this farmer when the time comes to get the zoning changed in the lot we have, due to what I mentioned, they are real hard@sses about variances, but 2 things stick in mind, the other business's in place many years now, (not grandfathered as people lived in those homes) and in violation of the zoning code and the demonstrated financial hardship (necessitating a variance) of paying land taxes, well I'm off subject now but signs like those would draw an immense amount of attention here and would be interesting to see how long they would be up.

Well it appears funny, the signage and who does not like a person who does not take crap, but in reality its really sad when things have to get like that, nothing good comes of it, gets costly, next thing you know it escalates into a bad situation.

I've done battle in town here and won, made the front page of the local paper, but eyes are on you for a long time after, make one wrong move during that time, which I did, started another skirmish, won that one too, cost me atty fees though, had another incident 3 years ago, involving criminal charges stemming from evicting someone who was trying adverse possession on our lot, it turned real ugly real quick, was reduced to disorderly conduct and not to brag, and knock on wood, somehow the fine was forgotten, (unwritten courtesy?), cooperating with the sheriff deputy fully, I told him the given history and requested one of the judges, (whom is a dairyman, one of the nicest people you would ever meet, and extremely professional as a judge compare to the other guy a a NYSP retiree who needed to recuse himself given our history, which of course involved him screaming at me once many years prior, threatening me with jail time after making a deal with the D.A. for the "skirmish" Looking back, I get respect from the town, and just the same try to return same, was a rocky road for awhile though and I don't recommend traveling it unless you have no choice. You should see the look on that other judge,(hard to recognize any of these guys as judges, they never passed a bar exam) when I run smack into him sometimes when going across the road for breakfast, (he's there precisely the same time every day) which I don't do often, just smile and say hello, (mumbling other fine vocabulary under my breath) LOL !

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
