Chair called the meeting to order at 7:00pm.   
 
General discussion: M. Holman began by asking about a previously discussed property 
marketed as a horse farm.  S. Schofield responded the realty ad had been changed.  M. Allison 
mentioned a new item ‘farm complaints’ has been added to our agenda.  A second farm issue 
was mentioned about someone with horses and a question about manure management was 
raised and discussed.  S. Schofield mentioned a resident on Hickory Hills asked about raising 
chickens, while the landowners association has a clause against owning livestock.  M. Allison 
responded no, the right to farm does not trump the land owners association.  M. Allison also 
mentioned the APR for Peirce Tree Farm which lead to a discussion on APR properties in town 
and expansion/extension of infrastructure.

like him to continue.   
-Flyer: M. Holman gave an update on the status of the flyer for AgCom.  More farms have been 
confirmed who want to be listed, others have yet to respond.  Further discussion on format was 
had.

farm size’ was had.
