Description

CBS Dallas/Fort Worth October 20, 2021 Farmers Branch was poised Tuesday night, Oct. 19 to change a city rule that a farmer has pushed back against for months, saying it would force him to give up agriculture in the city. The city council was set to consider allowing farming as an exception to a rule limiting grass height on properties to no more than eight inches. It would raise the allowable height to four feet, as long as the crop was consistent across the property, and on land appraised as agricultural use or open space.
