Sally- After reading this last article i cant beleive the old farmers in this town voted to have it illegal to have junk farm machinery for parts on their property .Some of this stuff sounds ok for town but a lil strick for the country.
You make a good point, Marc. Not every farmer can afford new equipment, and must rely on old equipment for parts to keep his operation going. I guess the question would be: How many pieces of junk farm machinery laying around consitutes a benefit to the farmer and his livelihood or is really a blight on the town? Most of the time I think a CEO could tell by looking at a "farmer's property" and determine if the machinery is really being used for parts, or if its machinery just got parked to the side with good intentions, but was long forgotten. Code enforcement relies on good judgment on the CEO's part. It wouldn't hurt if the town developed clearer critieria for "what is considered a junk property" in Lindley. Corning's criteria for junk property is a bit strict for Lindley. But people live on top of each other in a city, so their standards should be stiffer. Besides, most people who live in the country are fiercely independant and don't appreciate "government interference." That's why most rural areas in America are largely Republican/Conservative strongholds.
