Which are all things I do and utilize the property for. I have previously had Agricultural exemption when living in Volusia County Florida. They sent someone to the property prior to their decision, they could see it was used for agricultural purposes and was approved. I recently purchased this in December. I was denied the agricultural exemption without anyone coming to the property prior to their decision. If they had, they would see it fits the definition of an agricultural property. Livestock is a big part of agriculture, I hope to continue to promote agriculture in the lovely state of Michigan.
