[GreenYes] Ordinances that facilitate on-farm composting

["Wonsidler, Michael" <Michael.Wonsidler@no.address>]

> The County of San Diego is discussing revising local ordinances to promote
> on-farm composting. Our region has a strong agricultural community (Over
> 6,000 farms, ranks 5th in nation in agricultural value), however our
> current local regulations are restrictive when it comes to composting at
> farms. As a vital part of an comprehensive organic materials management
> strategy, we view returning organic materials to farms as ideal locations
> to encourage composting. 
> 
Can anyone send information on jurisdictions with ordinances that promote on
farm composting? We'd like to review model ordinances before considering
crafting our own. 

> Thanks for any leads!
