Farmers Rights Along Highways Outlined in Opinion
An opinion by the Michigan attorney general outlines farmers rights along rural public highways. It states farmland ownership reaches to the road center with public travel allowed. Farmers may grow crops and keep harvests from motorists while maintaining safety and convenience. They may plant trees or shrubs if they do not impair highway use and can cut unwanted growth they planted. Road crews may alter conditions to improve highway use, including planting, without owner consent if not an impediment or hazard.
