Hobby Farming in Utah: Gov’t Forces one Man to Sell Land

June 16, 2015 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Thistle, Utah— Having driven for nearly 20 minutes in this town, the appearance could best be described as charmingly post-apocalyptic. There are many abandoned homes and former farm facilities.
