Timber and pasture regulations
Living the Country Life Radio Program
Living in the country means you have much more freedom than city dwellers, but it doesn't necessarily mean you have carte blanche to do whatever you want. Before you begin construction, plan a pond, or put livestock out to pasture, it's important to make sure you aren't violating any codes or agreements. For example, if a previous landowner entered into a CRP agreement on pasture ground, you must fulfill or terminate it before allowing livestock to graze. Yes, there are rules you must follow when living in the country, but it's worth it!
