[AT] OT stamping press pits

[Mike M]

Hi Farmer,
I live in Michigan, and here, provided the farm has been in existence
long enough, you can have it declared a Centennial Farm. What it boils
down to is it can be sold, but must remain in farming of some sort, and
not made into a subdivision. There are also tax incentives if I'm not
mistaken.
