Finally received the draft minutes from the agricultural commission (past the 10 day requirement of the law)

from those minutes; "much discussion was about a rooster bylaw being proposed by the board of health. We were all in agreement that this is not to be a no rooster clause. Dave will contact Commissioner LeBeau for advice on how to deal with hobby farming without hurting commercial farming interests. The commission was in agreement that we need to support the board of health director as she is farmer friendly and supportive. We will send something to the Ms. Wiita by 2/28/2022.

Now, according to the last weekly report of the Town Administrator, there are a few people in town who have issue with roosters. The agricultural commission is on the side on commercial farmers while not so much on people who have a few chickens. Here I thought this was a right to farm town.

Right now, the Templeton right to farm bylaw states;

§ 152-5

Resolution of disputes.

[Amended 6-17-2020 ATM by Art. 9]

Dispute resolution will be the responsibility of the Select Board (Board), or its designee(s), until such time as an Agricultural Commission is formed by the Town and empowered to resolve disputes arising from this bylaw.
