We go through some brief updates and talk about how farming is actually on the front lines in the ongoing fight for our personal liberties. We do some news and hear from Mark Baker of Bakers Green Acres on his fight with the Michegan DNR on the recent ruling that his heretage breeds of pigs are feral and must be destroyed.

An update on the feed ceiling talks, more updates, and an example of how not to keep bees.
(To our international listeners, the bumper music isn’t meant to incite or insult you. It’s meant as a rubuke to the policies of our current leadership that I feel have strayed far from their intended role.)

Instead of just allowing companies to sue farmers for seed saving – it would appear that the legal system is becoming a double-edge sword for biotech giants.
It’s about damn time.

It’s nonsense like this that really gets me going in the morning. Please if you have some time, contact Burgh Bees and see how you can assist.
Proposed changes to the city ordinance dealing with the keeping of agricultural animals on city properties has agitated bee and chicken keepers.
Burgh Bees, a 375-member nonprofit, has put out a “call to action” via e-mail for attendance at a public hearing before the city planning commission at 2 p.m. Feb. 16 “to show how many beekeepers and beekeeper supporters there are” in the city. The hearing is at 200 Ross St., Downtown.
Legal wording currently is confusing and leaves room for abuse of privilege, city officials have said. But bee and chicken raisers say the proposed changes could create unintended ill-effects.
The hearing is the public’s chance to offer input, said Joanna Doven, spokeswoman for Mayor Luke Ravenstahl.
“We support urban farms and groups like Burgh Bees,” she said, “but we have to make sure we are balancing their interests with the safety needs and concerns of other residents.
“There has been a disconnect between what is and isn’t allowed, so we need an ordinance that clearly outlines how we should proceed.”
Under current law, residents must get a variance to raise chickens on properties of less than 5 acres or if their lots don’t allow 200 feet between the coop and a property line, but it’s vague as to whether a five-animal limit means pets are included. In addition, enforcement is driven by complaints.
A proposed 15-foot setback from any property line and 2,500-square-foot minimum per hive would in effect ban beekeeping in many of the city’s dense neighborhoods, “where our members have been safely keeping bees for years,” said Meredith Grelli, founder and director of Burgh Bees.
