The protections you are afforded by law are based on zoning. rural zoning had a loophole that exposed a rural landowner to increased liability if the land was unfenced, which most farms are. residential property has civil liability protections that are already more robust than rural. the change requested by Evers' bill will bring rural code protections closer to that of residential. so it would seem, if you are zoned residential, you are already part of a special class. @BT: land ownership is based on rural, residential, commercial, or industrial.

These folks need all the honest support we can give them. I domhave a question that may seem facetious to some, but I'm sincere in asking it, and have a reason for asking: Doesn't the liability exemption include a failure on the farmer's part to warn people of hazardous conditions that are NOT obvious to persons entering the property?

Can I get the same protection when people come on to my land? Or do I have to belong to a special class? Good. Can I get the same protection when people come on to my land?
